    Have you ever bought a firearm, "just because"? No practical value?

    Posted

    At this point in my shooting career, need has nothing to do with it is a matter of want.  I want a Colt SAA, ivory in .44 Spcl with a 7 1/2 barrel and eventually a large caliber double rifle. It is purely  want and not a need.  But people like us are good for the industry and how many of us have told our friends, "that really looks good on you" only so we can shoot whatever they are handling in the LGS.  How many of us gun folks have fallen for that one?

    SOLD - Non CAS Burris Rifle Scope Fullfield II 2 X 7 X 35mm - price drop!

    in SASS Wire Classifieds

    Posted · Edited by Hashknife Cowboy

    For sale:  Burris Fullfield II 2 X 7 X 35mm

     

    This is the smallest scope in the Fullfield II family, and one of the smallest hunting scopes Burris sells. 

     

    Photograph of actual reticle below.  Scope has a minor scratch on the bell end and is in excellent condition.  Scope came off of a .243 Ruger 77 and has seen very little field use.

     

    $75.00 OBO and we split shipping...in honor of National Cherish an Antique Day, not that a fair number of CAS members may be high mileage in age.

    Sold - Reproduction of the original 1907 Military Sling

    in SASS Wire Classifieds

    Posted · Edited by Hashknife Cowboy

    Brownell's black leather reproduction of the original 1907 Military Sling; the one that's become the standard among hi-power service rifle shooters and many knowledgeable hunters; the one that's sought after by collectors and restorers of pre-WWII military firearms and the one that's carried more guns, more miles on more shoulders than darn near any other.  

     

    The sling is brand new and never used, sling only no swivels..

     

    $50.00 and I ship......

    Non SASS Rifle

    There are just too many choices anymore.  I recently bought a .308 and was made to feel like my sanity was in question. Many believe that the 6.5 ammo will cure what ails us.   I say buy informed and get a caliber which can be found at a LGS or your local hardware store in smallish town USA.  The 6.5 is a great round, but I am a fan of all the .30 caliber rounds.  May dad took many animals with a 30-06, I have taken many mule deer and cow elk with a 30-30.  I bought the .308 because  of the short action, a lighter weight rifle that is easier to pack,  the variety of ammunition available and its effectiveness.  I do not need to shoot at 800 yards, the furthest I have shot was 360 yards at a bull elk with a .300 Win Mag and it worked perfectly.  Too many bad things can happen when shooting extremely long distances. Become proficient and get what works for you.  Remember all factory ammo is expensive and invest in good glass.

    Lightning

    in SASS Wire

    Posted · Edited by Hashknife Cowboy

    Pietta Firearms had a booth at Cowboy Christmas which is a part of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and shared with me a Lightning was on schedule for release in 2026.  And that was all he knew, so I was told.  At this point I feel it is a rumor although they had many fine firearms on display to handle and examine.  We'll see....

    44-40 and 44 Russian Practice Ammo Recommendations

    in SASS Wire

    Posted

    I could not afford to shoot if I did not reload.  I love the big bore handgun calibers, the cost of factory is obscene,  As often as reloading equipment shows up on the wire, consult another CAS member who reloads and begin to roll your own.  You won't regret it.  I load 44-40 for a old Winchester I have no regrets....the savings will be huge.

    Do all Ruger made Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum suck or is it just the brand new one I bought?

    in SASS Wire

    Posted · Edited by Hashknife Cowboy

    I bought one last summer and have no intent to use it for CAS.  All my loads are right at 1.50 in length and have never had a misfeed.  For the bullet I am using the Hornady .357 158 gr SJHP and some Berry's 125 gr FMJ-RNFP.  Never a problem one, it is a fun little rifle.  Powder is 231 or Unique.  I have no plan for an action job.   Good luck, I absolutely love mine.  Taking it javalina hunting in February.....

    Where you are from:  Flagstaff, AZ

    How long you’ve been Cowboy Action Shooting:  15-16 years...I believe

     

    The 44 special looks pretty good after 3 days in the back country.  A few days later it transitioned back into a CAS gun with its twin.

    Hollyweird and lack of gun knowlege

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    Here is my partial list of what is incorrect on a regular basis in the movies......

     

    Fire in outer space, don't we need oxygen?

    Gun inaccuracies, doing the impossible with firearms.

    Lack of horsemanship skills, to the point where it is almost abuse.

    Cop shows that get it all wrong.

    Medical impossibilities.

    One of my favorites, its just a flesh wound.

     

    Just my opinion......
