CR-45LC | Buffalo Classic Rifle
Big medicine for those born 100 years too late.
The sporting tradition, American
history and good ol’ fashioned quality craftsmanship
come together in two big-bore rifles
built to celebrate a legacy that began in 1871. H&R
Buffalo Classic® and CR Carbine rifles
are classics to the core, modeled after the Frank
Wesson tip-up rifles that were first made
in Worcester, Massachusetts in the 1850s. Chambered
for the 45-70 Gov't. and 45 Colt
cartridges, they reflect true 19th century styling
with antique color case hardening on the
frame and a crescent butt plate. Their handsome American
walnut stocks and fore-ends
are accentuated by cut checkering.
CR-45LC
Chambered for the 45 Colt, this compact rifle is
an ideal extended-range companion to a cowboy-style
sidearm. It’s equipped with all the aforementioned
aesthetically pleasing attributes, plus a 20" barrel
for quick handling with
carbine-style open sights.

Buffalo Classic Rifle
Traditional styling and aiming stability were foremost
in its design. Offered in 45-70 Gov’t., its
32" midweight barrel helps this big-bore cartridge
develop full velocity and accuracy potential. It
also provides the necessary
sighting radius for long-range matches. The Williams
receiver sight is complemented by a traditional globe-style
target front
sight with eight aperture inserts.
