Cimarron Model 71 Premium | .45-70 | 24-inch

The Cimarron Model 71 Premium is a faithful reproduction of the Browning-designed Model 71 offered by Cimarron and built for them by Davide Pedersoli. This example is chambered in .45-70 and wears a 24-inch blued barrel with a deluxe pistol-grip, hand-checkered walnut stock and forearm. The rifle uses a traditional lever-action layout in a half-magazine configuration and presents classic lines with a color case-hardened frame. For optics, this rifle pairs well with a rugged low-power variable optic such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24, an option under $1000 that preserves the Model 71’s practical sighting geometry while adding fast, precise aiming at hunting ranges.
