The classic lever-action rifle remains an icon in both the history of American firearms and modern precision shooting. For shooters seeking a combination of period-correct craftsmanship and functional accuracy, a faithful reproduction that honors those roots can deliver both range performance and display value.

CIMARRON 1886 is a reproduction of one of the most iconic rifles of the Old West, built with design cues inspired by John Browning and the historical legacy of Teddy Roosevelt popularizing the .45-70 cartridge for big game hunting. This model features an octagonal 26″ barrel, an 8-round capacity, and a case hardened receiver matched to a blued barrel and warm walnut stock—details that matter for both collectors and active shooters.

Design and Finish

The CIMARRON 1886 keeps the period profile intact with an octagonal 26″ barrel that gives a longer sight radius and contributes to stable harmonics for improved accuracy with heavy .45-caliber bullets. The case hardened receiver provides a classic two-tone finish that resists wear, while the blued barrel and warm walnut stock deliver a traditional look and good handling balance. The crescent steel butt plate preserves historical ergonomics and shoulder placement for repeatable cheek welds.

Sighting, Capacity, and Practical Use

Sights and Sight Radius

Equipped with a semi-buckhorn rear sight and a blade front sight, this rifle is optimized for quick target acquisition at typical lever-action distances while still offering the precision needed for longer shots when using the iron sights. The 26″ barrel increases velocity and flatness of trajectory for .45-70 loads designed for serious game.

Caliber and Applications

The .45-70 cartridge is legendary for big-game capability. It offers heavy-bullet momentum and deep penetration, making the CIMARRON 1886 suitable for hunting large game, target shooting with classic cartridges, or as a standout piece in a historical collection. With an 8-round capacity, it balances firepower with a traditional lever-action profile.
