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.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The .50-95 Winchester (.50-95 Winchester Express)was among several powerful new blackpowder cartridges introduced in 1876 in the Winchester Model 1876 Centennial lever action. The largest cartridge developed for the '76 Winchester, the .50-95 is essentially an updated version of the .50-70 cartridge, using a 1.913-inch case sized to fit the 1876 action. Using a .513-inch bullet diameter, the .50-95 used a light-for-caliber 300-grain bullet at 1557 fps. It was thus a very powerful cartridge, but was not as popular as the .45-60 or .45-75. It was also chambered in Colt's Lightning slide-action. Rarely seen today, it has been chambered to some reproduction rifles, but never achieved the legendary renown of the big Sharps cartridges. — Craig Boddington
