There's a reason the 1892 pattern never went away. John Browning designed it to replace the aging Model 1873, and the result was a stronger, smoother, faster cycling action that lever gun fans still swear by more than a century later. Cimarron's 1892 Short Rifle stays true to that original recipe with a 20 inch octagon barrel, a color case hardened steel receiver, and a walnut straight grip stock capped with a traditional blued buttplate. Set it next to a period original and you'd have to look twice.
This one runs both .357 Magnum and .38 Special through the same 10+1 tubular magazine, which makes it one of the most practical chamberings you can put in an 1892. Feed it soft shooting .38s for casual plinking or cowboy action matches, then load up magnums when you want real thump for hogs or deer inside reasonable range. Out of a 20 inch barrel, .357 Magnum picks up a serious velocity boost over any revolver, and the 1:18.5 twist keeps common bullet weights stable and accurate. It also pairs naturally with a .357 sixgun if you like the old one cartridge for rifle and pistol approach.
Beyond looking right, the octagon profile adds a bit of weight up front that steadies the sights and soaks up what little recoil these cartridges produce. Sighting is handled by a classic blade front and buckhorn rear that adjusts for your load, and the whole package comes in around six and a half pounds at 38 inches overall, so it carries easily and swings quick.
Cowboy action competitors will appreciate the fast action and mild recoil, hunters get a handy brush gun with genuine punch, and collectors get period correct lines with the fit and finish Cimarron is known for. It's a working rifle that's also just plain nice to look at, and that's a combination that never goes out of style.
Yes, it's chambered to run both cartridges through the same action and magazine tube. Many owners shoot inexpensive .38 Special for practice and cowboy action matches, then switch to full power .357 Magnum for hunting or field use. Just cycle the action with some authority when running shorter .38 cases to keep feeding smooth.
Absolutely, within the practical range of the cartridge. The 20 inch octagon barrel gives .357 Magnum a healthy velocity bump over handgun barrels, making it a legitimate option for deer and hogs at woods distances. The buckhorn rear sight is adjustable, so you can dial it in for your preferred hunting load.
It wears a traditional blade front sight paired with a buckhorn style rear that adjusts for elevation. This is the classic setup you'd find on original 1892 pattern rifles, and it's quick to pick up in the field. Most folks find it plenty precise once they spend a little time getting used to the sight picture.
Functionally they shoot the same, but the octagon profile adds a touch of muzzle weight that helps steady your hold and smooth your swing. It's also the more period correct look for a Short Rifle configuration, which matters to collectors and cowboy action folks. Between that and the case hardened receiver, this version has a lot of visual character.
