The 1876 was chambered in much more powerful hunting cartridges than the 1873 model. Those living on the frontier welcomed it for this was where Grizzlies frequently dined on settlers and large plains game required long range shooting to place meat on the table. - The Model 1876 was the first big game repeater and would become the favorite hunting rifle of one of the greatest of all American outdoorsmen Theodore Roosevelt.
