Twelve rounds of .45 Long Colt under a 24-inch barrel is a lot of lever gun, and Cimarron adds a gold-toned finish to make it stand out. The 1892 pattern is slim and fast, a design that came from the Browning era and has stayed popular for over a century.

The long barrel steadies the sights and adds a little velocity to the old .45 Colt cartridge. At a cowboy match, a twelve-round tube means you rarely need to stop mid-stage. The 1892 action is light and short, so the lever flies when you pull it with practice.

On the ranch, a rifle in the same caliber as your revolver makes sense. Keep one box of ammunition on the shelf, and it feeds both guns. Hunters who want to try an old-time rifle on hogs or deer inside close range can use it where state rules allow.

The gold finish looks bright in the sun and wipes clean. Oil the action lightly, keep the magazine tube free of grit, and store it dry. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is completed before you take it home.
