I wanted to offer a high quality range of rifles, but at more affordable prices than the current existing range available in the UK today.
With this in mind, Western Shooting Supplies has got together with Chiappa, (Armi Sports) to offer the UK shooter their beautiful firearms, made to very high standards but within a more realistic budget. It was also important for the range to offer an 1892 action, with the introduction of the new range of rifles, chambered in modern calibres such as .44 magnum and .357 magnum, along with the classics cartridges.
Here are some stock pictures just as a taste, and expect some more unusual calibres such as 38-55, 40-65 Sharps for a different experience, along with the recognisable 45-70, 45-90, 110 and the awesome 45-120
Model '92 .357 & .44 Mag 20 inch Barrel, Case Hardened
When the Winchester Model '92 was first introduced, it was found to be mechanically stronger and cost less to produce than the '73 with a total 1,004,675 manufactured from 1892 through 1941 in both solid and takedown variations. Western Shooting Supplies is proud to be exclusively able to offer these high quality fine replica firearms of the '92 Winchester Rifle, and saddle-ring carbine. "Trapper" model, offered in a 16" rifle version and a new "Hard Chrome" finish that looks as great as it resists the rigors of wear and harsh elements also available.

Mini Sharps 38-55
This dependable "Old' Reliable" design of the original Sharps rifle has been begging to be manufactured in a lighter rifle in smaller calibres for over a century and is now available in a smaller, quality rifle for today's discriminating shooter. This elegant, small frame version of the 1874 Sharps dropping block action has been reduced in size by 20%. It has a case coloured receiver and a two piece, straight grip walnut stock with a steel butt plate. The octagon barrel has a blue finish and is complete with tang sights. With years of experience of remanufacturing the original 1874 Sharps design, Chiappa Firearms, has been building one of the best reproductions of the 1874 Sharps available today. Expect nothing less when you consider the smaller version of the Chiappa Sharps to add to your collection of fine arms!

Billy Dixon 1874 Sharps 45-90
In the name of the young and famous scout, who hit a Kiowa warrior at 1538 yards, shooting with his Sharps on June 27, 1874 at Adobe Walls, Texas. Billy Dixon and 27 buffalo hunters were surrounded by more than 500 Kiowa and Comanche warriors, spurred by their "medicine man" who convinced them they were invulnerable at the "white" shots. Produced with octagonal 32 inch barrel, American quality walnut stock, checkered and oil finished, double set triggers and forend cap.
40-65 Winchester
The .40-65 was introduced in 1887 as a calibre for the 1886 Winchester Lever Action & the 1885 High Wall. The .40-65 has a wide appeal to silhouette shooters being used by Denver gunsmith Ron Long to win The National Championship (USA) in 1987, 88 and 91. The .40-65 is able to do what the .45-70 can in competition shooting, but with a little less recoil.
