The legacy of the late 19th century persists in modern shooting ranges and trophy rooms thanks to faithful reproductions that combine historic aesthetics with current manufacturing standards. For shooters and collectors who demand both form and function, a classic lever gun that handles big-game duties with authority remains a compelling choice.

CIMARRON 1886 is a reproduction of one of the most iconic rifles of the Old West and the world over. With a design inspired by John Browning and the history of Teddy Roosevelt popularizing the .45-70 on African travels, this rifle captures that heritage in a serviceable package. The rifle features an 8-round capacity and an octagonal 26″ barrel to propel a .45 caliber projectile as far as you need it to go.

Why the CIMARRON 1886 stands out

The combination of authentic styling and modern fabrication makes this lever-action more than a display piece. Cimarron claims their reproduction matches the strength and accuracy of the originals. Key visible features include a case-hardened receiver, blued octagonal barrel, and warm walnut stock that mirror period-correct finishes while standing up to practical use.

Design and handling

The crescent steel butt plate, semi-buckhorn rear sight, and blade front sight provide the classic sight picture that many shooters prefer for rapid target acquisition at game ranges. The octagonal 26″ barrel contributes to a stable sight radius and traditional weight distribution, aiding follow-through on longer shots.

Performance and the .45-70 cartridge

The .45-70 cartridge remains respected for its heavy-bullet momentum and terminal performance on large game. In a platform like the CIMARRON 1886, an 8-round capacity lever-action lets you keep multiple rounds ready for follow-up shots in a pack- or field-hunting scenario. This rifle is equally suited to field work, range practice, and standout display in a collection that values provenance.
