Cimarron 1874 Billy Dixon Sharps Rifle – .45-70 Gov’t, 32″ Octagon Barrel, Case Hardened/Blued

The Cimarron 1874 Billy Dixon Sharps Rifle is a masterfully crafted tribute to one of the most legendary long-range rifles of the American frontier era. Chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge and featuring a commanding 32-inch octagon barrel with a 1:18″ rate of twist, this falling-block single-shot rifle delivers the authentic look, feel, and performance that serious collectors and long-range shooting enthusiasts demand.

Built to exacting standards, the Billy Dixon sports a beautifully case hardened frame contrasted by a rich blued finish on the barrel — a classic color combination that pays homage to the original 19th-century craftsmanship. The hand-fitted American walnut stock provides both durability and traditional elegance, while the rifle’s substantial 13.2-pound frame helps tame the authoritative recoil of the .45-70 Gov’t round. At 48.5 inches overall length, this is a full-size sporting rifle engineered for precision at distance.

Named after the legendary buffalo hunter and scout Billy Dixon — famous for his extraordinary long-range shot at the Second Battle of Adobe Walls — this rifle is equally at home on the range, in the field, or displayed as a centerpiece of any serious collection.
