Pat Riot Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I had a Pard PM me a question regarding using the Henry for Long Range Rifle competitions in SASS. I did get clarification from Palewolf that the Henry Single Shot 45-70 is legal for Plainsman. It's in this thread: https://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/270499-henry-single-shot-45-70-legal-for-plainsman/&tab=comments#comment-3527904 I am sure it's just fine for long range but wanted to make sure by posting here...Palewolf's mailbox is full.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 If it's legal for Plainsman. it is legal for LR sidematch use...the "SASS legal single shot rifle" rule is in the LR sidematch section: Quote Must use a SASS legal single shot rifle firing a traditional blackpowder rifle or revolver caliber cartridge (e.g., not a .30-.30). The rifle may have spring actuated ejectors if they are standard for that rifle. .38 Special is legal. SHB p.29 "Plainsman" regs Quote Single Shot and Buffalo Single Shot firearms must be originals or replicas of single shot rifles manufactured during the period from approximately 1860 until 1899. All rifles MUST have exposed hammers. SHB p.29 "Long Range" regs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I do need to load up some ammo and dial in the sights but the gun is great. I am toying with installing a ladder sight in place of the rear sight on the barrel. There is no way to mount a tang sight with the top lever in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do this, after you find the load you will use. Does Henry sell different height front sights?? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
