Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Sporting Rifle
The Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Sporting Rifle stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship that marked the era of lever-action rifles. Originally dubbed the "Improved Henry" for its patented loading gate on the side of the frame—an innovation by Winchester's plant superintendent, Nelson King—this rifle is steeped in history.
Its brass frame earned it the affectionate moniker "Yellow Boy" from Native Americans, making it not only a tool of precision but also an icon. This particular iteration features a robust 24-inch octagon barrel, expertly crafted to enhance accuracy and balance.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt, this rifle offers both power and versatility with its standard blue finish complementing its classic aesthetic. The walnut stock adds a touch of elegance while ensuring durability during field use. With a twist rate of 1:16", shooters can expect consistent performance shot after shot.
