Cimarron Nueces ’73 | .45 Long Colt | 24.25″ Barrel

The Cimarron Nueces ’73 is a traditional lever-action rifle chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 24.25″ heavy round barrel, walnut stock and blued metal finish. Its design echoes period-correct styling and includes a barrel stamp referencing rifles issued to the Texas Rangers. For a practical optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 for clear, durable glass suited to Cowboy Action and range work.
