Design and key specifications
Built as a faithful modern reproduction, the CIMARRON 1873 features a lever action with a case hardened steel frame and an 18″ blued octagonal barrel. The high-quality walnut stock and traditional color case hardened frame combine period aesthetics with a durable finish. At approximately 8 lbs, the rifle offers a steady platform for accurate shooting while staying true to the feel of saddle rifles used by ranchers and lawmen.
Caliber and shooting applications
This version is chambered for .357 Magnum and accepts .38 Special, giving shooters flexible ammunition options. .357 Magnum rounds deliver strong stopping power and flat trajectories for short to mid-range engagements, while .38 Special provides lower recoil and cost-effective practice rounds—ideal for Cowboy Action Shooting, target work, plinking, and small game hunting. Historically, the Model 1873’s popularity influenced pistol-rifle caliber matching—Colt’s Peacemaker was offered in compatible calibers so shooters could carry one ammo belt for both firearms.
Use in competition and fieldwork
With its 18″ barrel and traditional lever geometry, the CIMARRON 1873 excels in fast reloads and point shooting scenarios common in cowboy action matches. It’s a versatile rifle for those who split time between competition bays and light hunting. The blued finish and walnut furniture also make it a desirable display piece for collectors and reenactors.
