Just picked up a Cimarron 1873 short rifle a few days ago and put my first 50 rounds through it this afternoon. Overall I'm very happy with it so far. Fit and finish is very nice, the trigger is a hair stiffer than I'd prefer, but not bad by any means (haven't used a break scale on it yet, but I'd figure around 5#). The action is pretty smooth, no feed or ejection hiccups.

I didn't shoot groups with it, but had no problems dinging a plate with it from 40 yards. I like the sights, the rear gives you a pretty wide field of view. I did hit the tip of the front sight with a bit of white paint when I got home, though. My eyes aren't what they used to be, so I like white bead fronts.

*added* It is a Uberti made rifle... came in a Uberti box with both Uberti and Cimarron booklets and warranty papers inside.
