Owners of the Cimarron 1892 Classic .357 Mag Lever Rifle tend to focus on the walnut stock and octagonal barrel, both of which give the rifle a distinctly period-correct look. The lever action draws consistent praise for being smooth from the start, and most find the balance and weight easy to live with through a full day of shooting.

On accuracy and reliability, feedback is generally positive across a range of .357 Magnum loads, and cowboy action shooters in particular seem to gravitate toward it as a natural companion to a period-appropriate revolver.

The common criticisms are fairly minor: occasional fit-and-finish inconsistencies that show up before the rifle has been shot much, and a price point that some feel is high relative to similar lever-guns on the market. Most owners consider the quality worth it, though budget-conscious buyers do bring it up.
