What caliber does the Cimarron AS622 use?
It’s chambered in .357 Magnum and also handles .38 Special rounds. That means you can shoot cheaper .38 Special for practice and switch to .357 Magnum for hunting or self-defense.
Is the saddle ring removable?
Yes, you can take the saddle ring off if you prefer a cleaner look or don’t need it for carrying. It’s held on by a screw, so it’s easy to remove with a basic tool.
Can I mount a scope on this carbine?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, but keep in mind the traditional look is part of the appeal. Many shooters stick with the iron sights for authenticity.
How does it shoot with .38 Special?
It cycles .38 Special smoothly, and because the rounds are shorter, you might get a little more capacity in the tube. Recoil is very light, making it a great choice for new shooters.
