Wadd, Darby, Jess, & Judge - Welcome to ya!  Glad to see ya made it to this side of the range.  The coffee's hot, the tales are good, and the company is grand.

Steel Hore Bailey,

Why thank you ... I am learning as I go on ... actually, my Great Grandfather Wadd Watson Ellis WAS a member of the Cracker Cow Cavalry in the final years of the war ... funny how time travels in circles

P.S.  ... this is for Steel Horse Bailey ... I see you on BROW all the time ... so I have a question ... I am really enamoured (and that is the right word ... LOL) on the John Bodine .45-70 Remington reproduction rolling block, with it's double triggers.

My question is, would this gun be considered verboten by NCOWS because of the double triggers? Although I really want the double triggers,  would I be able to shoot it at an NCOWS sponsored shoot

Or would I be wiser to look for a Pedersoli that has all the bells and whistles EXCEPT a double trigger setup?

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Steel Hore, eh?  Great!  That's one version I HADN'T thought of or heard!   

Great of you to join us (apparently AGAIN!)

As far as I know, the double trigger set-up is fine.  About every good rifle of that era could be had with single or double triggers.  Matter of fact, about the only thing - triggerwise - that wasn't very authentic (and I'm certainly NOT the final word on that) is the single set trigger like the newer Russian "Remington" double-barreled shotguns have.  The Judge would be the one to check with for clarity, but I'm thinking the John Bodine model as sold is fine for long-range NCOWS competition. 

Have fun - and that's all the bells & whistles needed!

I'm a life member, but I've been one so long I don't remember my #.  I think its #70, but OldTimer's disease is setting in - for now its just SomeTimer's. Was probably one of the earliest Texans, if not the first Texas member of the Congress, I think- doesn't really matter much. Just glad to be one.... -Doc

[Irish Dave]

Welcome to the campfire.
A quick check shows 2 life members in TX

Glad to see you here in any case.
