ShadowCatcher Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 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? Rossi SS 92 in .45 Colt w/ 20" bbl, by NKJ. Rossi blue 92 in .45 Colt w/ 24" octagon BBL by NKJ. On the shopping list - Henry in .45 Colt . . . Shadow Catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
