Come On Christmas Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 A long time ago I shot a rifle that Pecos Red had at a Plainsman Choot that was a Browning that had a similar action. What was it? Historically significance. I think I will ask my NCOWS friends as well. I will play dumb. Which eeez not hard for me. Talk to me here.

Griff Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Probably the Browning 1885. I woulda said the clone of the Winchester 1885... but... since JMBrowning designed it... oh heck, got a headache now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Gregg Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I love my Ruger #1, but I've never used it for a SASS sidematch!! I recollect you have got to shoot a rifle with an exposed hammer. Mustang Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Not exactly sure what you are asking. The Ruger #1 is not legal for Plainsman because it has no outside hammer. Other than the actions are falling blocks, it bears no resemblance to the Browning Hi or Lo walls. The closest old west rifle to the Ruger #1 would probably be the Sharps Borchardt.
