Hardly anyone shoots .32 WCF anymore, and that is part of the charm. The Cimarron 1873 Winchester is chambered in .32 Winchester Centerfire, also known as .32-20, and it carries a 24 inch barrel and a 12-round magazine with walnut furniture.

The .32-20 is a gentle, accurate little cartridge from the late nineteenth century. It suits small game, varmints and cowboy-action matches where a light recoil keeps your hits fast. A 24 inch barrel gives it extra sight radius and a smooth swing, and a 12-round tube holds plenty for a stage.

Cimarron imports quality replicas of the old Winchesters, and the 1873 pattern is one of the most recognized lever actions ever built. The action runs slick when you work the lever, and the walnut feels right in the hand.

Because .32 WCF ammunition is less common than mainstream rounds, plan to stock up when you find it or handload. That is a small price for a rifle that looks as good as this one. It is a rifle for the shooter who wants something different from the usual .45 Colt or .357. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
