H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I am sure that all of us have at least 1 main match rifle. Some of us have more than one Main Match rifle. I am just storta curious; simply based on ownership, what are the most popular mail match rifes out there? Not, favorite, just most commonly owned. For the sake of simplicity, I don't think there is any need to make a distinction between orginals or who made the reproduction. I'll start the poll off 1 Henry 1 '73 3 '92s 1 Lightning What else is out there?

Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 My primary go-to rifle is the Marlin 24" barel Cowboy in .38/.357 I started out with over 10 years ago. Also have a '73 in .38, a '73 in .45 (used for classic cowboy), a Marlin .45 Cowboy Comp (used for Wild Bunch), and a '92 chambered in .454/.45 Colt tuned by Nate Kiowa Jones. Lorelei shoots the same Marlin Cowboy Comp in .38 she started with 10 years ago.

Two Spurs Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 My bride and I share a '73 in 45 colt. BUT- after I cut down the stock for her, she told me it's time to buy my own rifle! The plan is for that to be a '66 in 45 colt which will happen really soon!
slate mike sass#29204 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Stock '73 in 45, but thinkin' of goin' to a '73 Deluxe with a short stroke. Not that I'd be much faster, but I do like the looks of the pistol grip on the Deluxe.

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 My main match lever rifles. I started cas in 1992 with a Rossi 1892 in 357. Still using it as my main match rifle. I have several other Rossi's in 357 and a Winchester 92 in 32-20. Non used in cas. I also have a 1860 Henry I use as a main match rifle when shooting BP. It started life as a 45 Colt and was re-barreled as a 44-40. So the short answer is two... 1. Rossi 92 in 357 2. Uberti Henry in 44-40 ----
