So, I'm thinking of delving into cowboy action shooting within the next couple of years.
My question is about lever guns.
I heard something from a guy on Youtube about this topic and when I read the SASS handbook, I'm not seeing what he was talking about.
I really like the Marlin '94 Cowboy but he says in the video that there is only one category in which that rifle is allowed.
Should I go with a Winchester '92 instead?
For the record I'm not going to have it short stroked. I realize that this is a quick way to gain an edge, but I'm not that concerned about winning matches. I just want to get together with good folks and have a good time shooting the guns that I love so much. The rifle will also see a lot of use in the woods as a deer hunting gun, so I want the option to shoot full throttle loads through it. That's why I'm not really considering the Winchester '66 or '73, which I love the looks of. I want it in .44 magnum (but would go with .45 Colt if the right rifle came along), and I want to be able to shoot some thumpers in it.
So, my question is, what matches will I not be able to shoot in with the Marlin? Is the guy wrong? I called myself reading the handbook, and am at a loss.
Thanks.
