Owners of the 1873 Nueces appreciate the classic 1873-pattern lever gun in 45 LC, a combination that has a long history in American rifle shooting. The walnut stock quality draws positive remarks, and the 24-inch round barrel gives the rifle a traditional full-length profile that many buyers specifically want.

The 12-round capacity is well-regarded for a tube-fed lever gun in 45 LC. Reliability is generally consistent, though some owners note the action smooths out noticeably after a few hundred rounds and benefits from a break-in period. Trigger feel is acceptable but not exceptional out of the box.

Cimarron's pricing puts the Nueces above imported budget alternatives, and buyers weigh that against the brand's reputation for fit and finish. Some feel the value is solid given the quality of the walnut and metalwork; others find the cost hard to justify versus similarly priced competition.
