Three out of four are genuine antiques. But, no such category exists, so I don't use 'em. They would be welcomed at our Monthly Cody Dixon Match. We have a special category to allow people to shoot firearms just like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 if I could figure out some use for a Win 95 I would get one. I think they should be allowed in BAMM matches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they aren't. Oh, this 95 was the first Winchester that I ever purchased with my own money. The choice was between it and a Colt Lightning in, I forget, either 38-40 or .38-56. At the time, I had no idea what a Lightning was, but this was an honest to goodness Winchester that I could start my collection with! I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had bought the Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Agate Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 We have our Tom Horn category for our annual match, Roop County Days put on by the Battle Born Rangers. you can find the rules on our application on our website: http://www.northernnevadacas.com/BBR-RCD-2019-App.pdf We also encourage our stage writers to write monthly stages with Big Bore optional. That's when you can break out your favorite big boomer. If I'm not shooting one of my 50's I'll shoot my '95 in 405!! These matches take no longer to run than a regular SASS match because you won't be using your pistol caliber rifle. Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. I looked up the Cody Dixon rules... Rifles must be of a design, and a model, readily available prior to 1899. Lever Action Rifles must be tube fed and have an exposed hammer. Marlin 336’s and 1895’s will be allowed. Single Shot Rifles must have an exposed hammer. Spring-loaded ejectors are not allowed, except for Trapdoors. No Savage 99’s, Ruger #1’s, H&R’s, or “Little Sharps” rifles are allowed. Although not mentioned, this would seem to not allow the Winchester 95. What have people got against it? It's the Rodney Dangerfield of the Winchester lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be at a little disadvantage with a 95Win due to capacity (most CD stages are 6 rounds) but could load the extra 2 on the clock. I'll be in Houston in 2 weeks, I know i'll be going by Collectors Firearms. Starting to get sweaty palms already! http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/winchester-model-1895/ if you are ever in Houston, Collectors Firearms is a great store.

Modifications... Nothing?? Then there's stage writing. Difference in sequences and gun staging. Wonder why folks cheer when they learn they don't have any Cody shooters on the posse. And Cody Dixon started here so I would think it would have following. To bad it takes away from the SASS approved categories. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 we came up with Sharpshooter which is C-D with pistol-caliber rifles which shoot targets out around 60 yards they also shoot their pistols at the SASS cowboy rifle targets. We went to this because of concerns about how far rifle caliber bullets would travel down range. Also have Rifleman for one of our pards that has hand shakes. Does great with two rifles--two pistols . . . not so much. shoots one at the pistol targets, other at rifle targets. We have WB, SASS Cowboys and Sharpshooters all in our posses--just let everyone blast away and have fun (of course in a safe and somewhat sane manner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 30-40's love 210g LRNGC rounds. Hornady is producing new 405 ammo, hopefully brass is on the way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
July Smith Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 There were almost 100 shooters at our last monthly, maybe only 10-12 of those shooters were shooting Cody-Dixon or Sharpshooter. I doubt those few shooters really slowed down the match in any significant way. I personally don't mind having CD or SHS on my posse. As a spotter though I sure do appreciate it when they let me know they will be shooting the longer range targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
