Why This Rifle Matters

The 45-70 Government remains one of the most effective hunting cartridges ever developed. At Adobe Walls, Billy Dixon made a shot at approximately 1,500 yards—a distance that seemed impossible at the time. This rifle represents that same capability and heritage.

Built for Accuracy and Heritage

The octagonal barrel provides excellent rigidity and reduces weight compared to full-length barrels. The double triggers allow you to set the rear trigger for a crisp, predictable break on the front trigger. The case-hardened frame gives this rifle authentic period appearance while maintaining durability.

Whether you're a serious long-range shooter, a historical firearms enthusiast, or someone who appreciates genuine American craftsmanship, the Cimarron Billy Dixon delivers authenticity and performance in equal measure.
