The Cimarron 1873 Saddle Rifle in .44-40 Winchester (brand part no. CA2008G35) is a lever-action rifle built around an 18-inch barrel, giving Old West shooters a compact, saddle-scabbard-friendly take on the classic 1873 action. Cimarron Firearms finishes the Saddle Rifle’s receiver in case coloring/hardening, stocks it in walnut, and feeds it from a 10-round tubular magazine. Among lever guns in the lever action rifles category, the Saddle Rifle favors Cowboy Action and mounted shooters who want a shorter 1873 that carries easily.
