Cimarron Firearms AS200 1874 Rifle .45-70 Govt 34" 1-Round Stainless Rifle

The Cimarron AS200 1874 Rifle From Down Under II chambered in .45-70 Government is a purpose-built single-shot rifle that bridges historical rifle mechanics with modern ballistic capability. Featuring a 34-inch blued octagon barrel paired with a color case hardened stainless steel receiver, this rifle delivers the accuracy and power demanded by distance shooters, hunters pursuing large game, and enthusiasts committed to traditional rifle platforms. The walnut fixed stock provides a solid cheek weld and consistent sight picture necessary for precision work at extended range.

The AS200 configuration prioritizes ballistic efficiency and reliability. The 34-inch octagon barrel maximizes velocity and energy retention from the .45-70 Government cartridge—a round that generates substantial recoil and delivers terminal performance at 200+ yards. The blued octagon barrel resists corrosion during extended field use, while the color case hardened stainless steel receiver provides corrosion resistance critical in variable weather and field conditions. At 14.68 lbs, the rifle balances weight for accurate shooting from improvised positions without becoming unwieldy during transport or long-range shooting sessions. The single-shot design ensures chamber reliability and eliminates feeding concerns common to semiautomatic platforms in high-stress scenarios.

This rifle is built for shooters who prioritize accuracy over firepower—hunters working longer distances on elk and moose, competition shooters in Cowboy Action disciplines, and marksmen training on vintage rifle platforms. The .45-70 Government cartridge remains one of the most versatile rifle rounds in North America, offering handload customization for precision work or factory ammunition for field reliability. Right-hand operation and the fixed stock architecture make this platform ideal for shooters seeking manual action discipline and sight picture consistency in unpredictable shooting environments.
