The Cimarron Uberti 1873 Long Range Deluxe Sporting Rifle is a lever-action rifle built on the classic 1873 Winchester pattern, chambered in .44 WCF with a 30-inch octagon barrel. It's a purpose-built long-range target and hunting rifle. The 30-inch barrel gives .44 WCF a meaningful velocity boost over shorter carbine variants, and the octagonal profile adds rigidity.

Detailed Features
The octagon barrel is machined for accuracy and adds a traditional look that matches the rifle's period-correct design. The deluxe walnut stock has a warm finish and a comfortable profile. The wood quality on these Uberti-made rifles is notably above entry-level reproductions.
Sights are a fixed front and adjustable rear, which is the correct period setup and practical for target shooting at distance. Getting the rear sight dialed in for your load takes a few trips to the range, but once set it holds zero well.
The 1873 lever action is smooth on these Uberti builds. Feeding is reliable with factory .44 WCF ammunition, and the action can be worked quickly once broken in.
Usage Scenarios
This is primarily a competition and range rifle. The 30-inch barrel makes it a natural for Cowboy Action Shooting long-range side matches and NRA-style black powder cartridge silhouette events. It also works for hunting in jurisdictions where straight-wall cartridges like .44 WCF are legal. The longer barrel gives you more energy at moderate distances.
Collectors and reenactors will appreciate the attention to period-correct detail. This is not a budget reproduction. The fit and finish reflect what Uberti does at the upper end of the market.
