Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Havn't got my new issue yet! In the past my opinion has differed a lot from the editor
Cat Brules Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think that on several points (as often happenens with such "polls") the balloting for "readers' choice" was made biased by repeated voting by the same individuals or that most of those ballots came from a small, like-minded group. I don't believe the readers choice results reflect the realities of opinions of CAS-knowageable folks.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I agree will GG on everything except the best cowboy action shotgun. I'd go with an SKB 100.
Tom Bullweed Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I also will agreenjoy with GG. I will give a nod to Jim Downing based on the vast number of cowboy guns that he has enhanced.
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I agree with GG also except for the Ruger Vaquero, I'll take my Smoke Wagons thank you! Rye That's ok - I prefer the superior Ford over the inferior Chevy so I understand GG ~

Houston CAS Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I can see the Thunderer being a reader's choice award. At a shoot my wife was using her Lightning revolvers (smaller version of the Thunderer) and wasn't able to borrow a leather rig so was staging her pistols before shooting. Because of this, they were more visible to people, and she got lots of questions about them. I think it's the birds head grip.

A miracle? Q. What do you call a Chevy with brakes? A. Customized. Q. How do you make a Chevy go faster down hill? A. Turn the engine off. Q. Why don't Chevy's sustain much damage in front end collisions? A. The*tow truck*takes most of the impact. Q. How do you improve the appearance of a Chevy? A. Park it between two*Fords Q. What�s the difference between a Chevy and a shopping cart? A. A shopping cart is easier to push. Q. Why are the new GM*trucks*more aerodynamic? A.

They say "Speed limit 65, Chevys-do the best you can" Thats not a leak, my Chevy's just marking its territory. Buy a Chevy and you buy the best. Drive the first mile and walk the rest. I could never keep a Chevy under me, I was always under the Chevy. Speed Kills, Drive a Chevy and live forever. A Texan was talking big in a bar one night about how much money he had, how many women he had been with and how much land he owned. A young man, growing tired of all the big talk finally asked the Texan, "Just how much land do you actually own"? The Texan tipped back his cowboy hat and said to the young man " Well sonny let me put it to ya like this, I can get in my pickup at sunrise, drive all day long, skip lunch and still not get to the other side of my property by sundown". The young man shot back quickly, " Oh yeah, I know what you mean, I used to own a Chevy truck too"! "Chevy, built like a rock and runs like one too." :lol: GG ~
