The Cimarron 1873 Deluxe Short Rifle .357 Magnum/.38 Special is a lever-action rifle with a 20-inch octagon barrel (Cimarron part no. CA213). Cimarron Firearms builds it as a reproduction of the Winchester 1873, the lever gun history calls the Rifle that Won the West. The deluxe version pairs a 20-inch octagon barrel with a pistol grip stock, a more formal take on the short rifle. It is chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, so a matching revolver in the same cartridge makes a natural companion. The reproduction look and lever-action handling suit cowboy action shooting, range days and Old West collectors.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is .357 Magnum/.38 Special, a pairing where the .38 Special is the mild choice for practice and the .357 Magnum is the harder-hitting load.
• Barrel length is 20 inches, a mid-length barrel that balances handling and sight radius.
• The barrel is octagonal, the traditional profile for an Old West lever gun and the look this model is known for.
• The action is a lever action, worked by the finger lever under the receiver for fast follow-up shots.
• The stock is a pistol grip style, the deluxe-grade shape that gives the hand a more upright hold.
