I toying with trying this Cowboy Rifle Silhouette with a SCR type rifle. Any suggestions on what people are using.

Old Marlin 39A vintage 1951, Old redfield peep rear, Old redfield front with bead.

Let's see: Marlin 39, probably the most commonly used rifle. Also used, in no particular order: Henry Golden Boy, Winchester 9422, Remington 121, and the auto version (can't remember the model no.), Uberti 1866, Marlin slide action (can't remember mo #).

As for sights, Marble tang and Williams/Lyman receiver peeps. Fronts are either the stock posts, or Lyman 17a's. Also a few original Beeches combos.

Have you been to any matches? Probably the easiest route to finding/trying the various guns and sights.

rm122, Thanks for your suggestion, very helpful. Havn't been to a match yet but plan to this summer. I do shot SBSR & SBHR a lot so I'm not starting out without any knowledge of the sport just needed some help on rifle choices.
Thanks again, Pete
