The Winchester Model 1873 earned its reputation as the rifle that won the West, and Cimarron's Short Rifle reproduction stays true to that legacy where it counts. Built by Uberti in Italy to Cimarron's specs, this .357 Mag/.38 Spl version pairs a 20 inch blued octagon barrel with a color case hardened steel receiver and a straight-grip walnut stock and forend. The case colors on these receivers tend to draw a crowd at the counter, and the wood-to-metal fit lives up to what Uberti has become known for.
The original toggle-link action is one of the slickest lever designs ever made, and it is a big part of why the '73 remains a favorite in cowboy action circles. The throw is short and smooth, and the action only gets better as it breaks in. The 10 round tube magazine loads through a traditional side gate, and the .38 Special compatibility means practice sessions stay cheap and recoil stays gentle. Step up to full-power .357 Magnum loads and you have a legitimate short-range woods gun that pairs nicely with a revolver in the same chambering, just like the rifle-and-sixgun combos that made the original famous.
Sights are a fixed blade up front with an adjustable buckhorn rear, exactly what you would expect on a period-correct rifle, and they get on target quickly once your eye settles in. At roughly 8.2 pounds with a 43.25 inch overall length, the octagon barrel puts weight out front where it steadies your hold and soaks up what little recoil these cartridges produce. The 20 inch barrel was the original saddle scabbard length, and it balances this rifle right at the sweet spot between handiness and sight radius.
Whether you are running stages, plinking steel with the family, or just want a faithful piece of Old West history hanging over the mantle that still shoots straight, this one checks the boxes. Model CA271 is the classic configuration, and it is the one most folks picture when they think of an 1873.
Yes, it is chambered for .357 Magnum and will also run .38 Special. Most owners practice with soft-shooting .38s to keep costs down, then load .357 Magnum when they want more punch. Like most tube-fed levers, flat or round nose bullets are the way to go.
Cimarron's 1873 rifles are manufactured by Uberti in Italy to Cimarron's specifications. Uberti has built its reputation on faithful Old West reproductions, and the fit, finish, and case coloring on these rifles consistently earn high marks. The toggle-link action is known for being one of the smoothest lever designs around.
It is one of the most popular platforms in the sport. The original 1873 toggle-link action cycles fast and smooth, which is exactly what competitors want, and the .38 Special compatibility keeps recoil light for quick follow-up shots. The 20 inch barrel length is a well-balanced choice for running stages.
The rifle loads through a traditional side loading gate into a full-length tube magazine under the barrel. Capacity is 10 rounds in the tube plus one in the chamber. Topping off mid-string is easy through the gate, just like the originals.
