The
famous Winchester 1873 is an American icon well known as “the gun that
won the West”. Popular with the Texas Rangers, the rifle became hugely
popular as well with ranchers and cowhands. Since Colt offered their
Peacemaker chambered in .44-40, the original 73’s caliber, a person
could have both their rifle and pistol use the same cartridge.
Cimarron offers this beautiful modern day reproduction of a piece of
rifle history in a number of models. This option, the Short Rifle, has a
20″ barrel well suited to the saddle scabbard. A favorite in the world
of Cowboy Action Shooting, the Cimarron 1873 is rugged and reliable.
