Some rifles just have a presence, and the Cimarron 1873 Saddle Rifle is one of them. This is a faithful reproduction of the Winchester Model 1873, the gun folks still call the one that won the West, built by Uberti to Cimarron's standards. The color case hardened receiver carries those swirling blues and straw tones that no two rifles wear exactly alike, set against a deep blued 18 inch full octagon barrel and a checkered walnut stock and forearm. It looks the part because it was built to match the originals in fit, finish, and function.
Chambered in .45 Colt, this rifle pairs naturally with a single action revolver in the same caliber, which is exactly how cowboys ran their gear back in the day and how cowboy action competitors run it now. The tube magazine holds 10 rounds with one more in the chamber, and the toggle link action cycles with that smooth, quick throw the '73 design is famous for. Recoil with standard .45 Colt loads is soft and pleasant, which makes long practice sessions and full match days easy on the shoulder. A blade front sight and adjustable rear keep things traditional and get you on steel or paper without fuss.
At 18 inches, the octagon barrel splits the difference between a carbine and a full length rifle. You get a fast handling gun that comes to the shoulder quick, balances well from a saddle scabbard or truck rack, and still gives the .45 Colt enough barrel to do its work. The checkered grip area adds a touch of the deluxe treatment along with a little extra purchase on the wrist. Whether you shoot matches, work a ranch, or simply appreciate a well made lever gun with real history behind the design, this one delivers the goods and looks fantastic doing it.
Cimarron partners with Uberti in Italy to build their 1873 line, and Cimarron has spent decades refining the fit, finish, and period detail of these reproductions. The result is a rifle that stays true to the original Winchester Model 1873 design while being built on modern machinery with modern steel.
It's one of the most popular platforms in the sport. The toggle link action of the '73 design has a short, fast lever throw that competitors love, and the .45 Colt chambering pairs perfectly with single action revolvers in the same caliber. The 18 inch barrel keeps it quick to swing between targets.
No, despite the Saddle Rifle name, this model does not include a saddle ring. The name refers to the shorter, handier configuration that rode well in a scabbard, not to hardware on the receiver. If you want a ring-equipped gun, Cimarron offers a separate Saddle Ring Carbine variant.
No, this rifle is chambered specifically for .45 Colt, also called .45 Long Colt, and that is the only cartridge it should fire. Standard pressure .45 Colt loads are the right choice for the traditional toggle link action. Stick with standard loads rather than heavy magnum-level handloads meant for stronger modern actions.
