North Texan

My last gun purchase was in November. I now feel I've got all my rifle needs covered for a while. Now it's time to start saving up a little here and there and trying to decide what my next purchase will be. I'm thinking about getting into cowboy action shooting, the only problem is I will need 4 guns (two revolvers, a pisitol caliber-rifle, and a shotgun). I have none of these. Taking into account I can only afford to purchase one gun at a time, where should I start. I'm thinking shotgun, because I don't currently own a shotgun and I could also make use of it dove and quail hunting. Any thoughts or suggestions?

My neighbor/shooting buddy has a Winchester 20ga for sale

if your mainly looking for one that will be dual usage like for cowboy action shooting and hunting ( it will have to be a period type shotgun , non modern design , so if i'm correct , no interchangable choke tubes etc... ), then get the shotgun but , i don't know if there's a shotgun only division in cowboy action shooting , if there isn't and that's your main goal , then go with a pistol caliber rifle but remember , it has to be of or like period style ( can't be a modern design )

heres what our local cowboy action groups website says about there firearms, BTW i got a marlin 1894 in 41 mag. for X-mas, man it's a blast, i'm not getting into the cowboy action stuff though, i need another hobbie like i need another hole in my head[&:], i have a couple of friend that are into this stuff, it is neat


but you probably already new all of thistoughcall since you'll eventually need them all, but since you don't have a scattergun i believe i'd lean that way first, just remember a man can never have tooo many guns[:-]
