It is. I don't shoot Winchesters, I shoot Marlins. In general, you will see allot of Marlin 94s, Winchester 92s, 73s and 66s. The gun doesn't necessarliy have to be an exact copy of the model available way back then. The other thing is that local clubs, while they follow SASS rules, tend to relax the rules on some of the allowed guns. They do this because it can be hard and expensive to get together four guns and they want people to come on out. Some clubs are very restrictive. Only way to know is to go to a shoot and ask.

Actually I use my Henry as a main match rifle, the Winnie is just a back-up. It's probably going up for sale soon, to help finance a 73!
Here's the whole ball of wax.

You will find that answer out as soon as you go to a match and have to do a reload on the clock.
You will come to this realization as you are pulling that looooooong tube out the front of that sucker, you will find that you are sucking wind behind the Marlin 94s and Winchester shooters.
To each his or her own, but if you want to go fast and be competitive, get a Marlin or a 66/73.

It gets it's name from the man who designed it for Winchester, B.Tyler Henry.
Now you wanna talk about doing a tricky speed reload on the clock with an 1860 style Henry, I'll be glad to show ya! [:D]
