Cimarron 1873 Texas Brush Popper | .357/.38 Spl

The Cimarron 1873 Texas Brush Popper is a compact, fast-handling lever-action designed for shooters who want a lightweight, classic-style rifle chambered in .357/.38 Spl. It pairs traditional styling—case-hardened frame, blued metal surfaces and a checkered walnut pistol-grip stock—with the quick cycling and balance expected from a competition-ready lever gun. For a practical optic under $1,000 that complements this platform, consider a 1-6×24 variable such as the Vortex Strike Eagle for close-to-mid range precision without adding excessive weight.

Common real-world uses include Cowboy Action Shooting and close-range brush or small-game fieldwork where quick target acquisition and maneuverability matter.
