The Cimarron Firearms 1876 Centennial is a lever-action rifle chambered in .45-60 Winchester—a cartridge that defined big-game hunting when Winchester introduced the original Model 1876 over 145 years ago. This rifle brings back a piece of American frontier history: the first truly powerful repeating rifle, favored by Theodore Roosevelt and every serious hunter who needed stopping power for grizzly and plains game. If you're drawn to classic lever guns with genuine historical pedigree and the capability to handle serious hunting, this is the real deal.
The 1876 Centennial carries the spirit of the era in its 28-inch blued barrel and walnut furniture, but this isn't a safe queen—it's a working rifle. The .45-60 Winchester delivers the kind of power that makes it suitable for hunting applications where a modern lever gun needs to earn its place in the rack. Ten rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber gives you plenty of firepower, and the 10-pound heft provides genuine control and reduces felt recoil, crucial when you're taking long-range shots in rough country.
Cimarron didn't just build a nostalgia piece; they engineered the first production 1876 since Winchester discontinued the original in 1898. That means access to parts, knowledge among gunsmiths and collectors, and a rifle that actually works like the legendary original. For lever-action enthusiasts, historical firearms collectors, or hunters who refuse to follow modern trends blindly, the 1876 Centennial is a serious choice that respects the gun's heritage while delivering functional reliability.

The .45-60 Winchester is a rifle cartridge introduced in 1876 alongside the Model 1876 Winchester. It was designed for hunting large game and was particularly valued on the frontier for taking grizzly and plains game at long range. It's a more powerful cartridge than the earlier .44-40, which made the 1876 a significant leap in repeating-rifle capability for serious hunters.
The Cimarron 1876 Centennial is based on the original Winchester Model 1876 design that Winchester manufactured from 1876 to 1898. Cimarron has made this the first and only production 1876 since the original run ended, restoring access to a historically significant lever-action platform for hunters and collectors.
The .45-60 Winchester and the 1876's 28-inch barrel are designed for hunting applications where a powerful, accurate lever gun makes sense. The 10-pound weight and classic design make it manageable in the field while delivering the cartridge's full potential.
The 1876 offers lever-action familiarity, historical character, and proven reliability for hunters who value classic mechanics and American firearms heritage. It works like the rifles that settled the frontier, with modern Cimarron manufacturing standards and parts availability.
