• Q: This is a 45-75 rifle and not a 45-70. Ammo must be 45-75 as 45-70 ammo cannot be used. The 1876 was never rifled for the 45-70 cartridge. Uberti makes them in the 45-60,45-75 and the 50-95.

  A:

  Yes it is a 45-70 verified by upc 814230015426 Cimarron 1876 Centennial Rifle .45-75 28" Oct. Barrel
  In 1876, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company introduced the Model 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial, celebrating the anniversary of the declaration of Independence from British rule. The 1876 was chambered in much more powerful hunting cartridges than the 1873 model. Those living on the frontier welcomed it, for this was where Grizzlies frequently dined on settlers and large plains game required long range shooting to place meat on the table. The Model 1876 was the first big game repeater and would become the favorite hunting rifle of one of the greatest of all American outdoorsmen, Theodore Roosevelt. The Cimarron 1876 is the first and only 1876 made since this model was discontinued in 1898.
