In the realm of lever-action rifles, few models hold as much historical significance and enduring appeal as the 1866 Yellowboy. Once dubbed the "Improved Henry," this rifle earned its moniker from Native Americans who admired its distinctive brass frame. Cimarron has expertly revived this legendary firearm, offering enthusiasts a chance to experience history with their own hands.
This particular model features a 20-inch octagon barrel that not only enhances accuracy but also pays homage to traditional craftsmanship. Chambered in .45 Colt, it strikes an ideal balance between power and versatility, making it suitable for both seasoned shooters and those new to firearms.
The Short Rifle configuration houses ten rounds within its tubular magazine—ample firepower for most shooting scenarios while maintaining a compact profile that's easy to handle. A standard blue finish provides durability without sacrificing aesthetics, ensuring your rifle looks as impressive as it performs.
Complementing the robust brass frame is a finely crafted walnut stock and forearm. This choice of wood not only offers comfort during extended use but also adds an element of classic elegance that modern materials often fail to replicate.
Whether you're drawn by nostalgia or seeking reliable performance on the range or in the field, Cimarron's 1866 Yellowboy stands ready—a testament to timeless design meeting contemporary quality.
