Lever Action Gun ShopLever rifles and single-action revolversOrder online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Sheridan County. Sheridan grew up as a cattle town on Big and Little Goose Creeks under the Bighorn Mountains, and Main Street still has saddle makers and Western outfitters. King's Saddlery on Main is known well beyond Wyoming for rope and leather.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Wyoming law allows.
Wyoming adds nothing to the federal process: no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. At the dealer you complete ATF Form 4473 and the NICS check runs while you wait. Dealers transfer rifles such as a Winchester 1894 or Henry .30-30 at 18 and any revolver at 21. Bring a current photo ID with your address. Ammunition, holsters and cartridge belts ship to your door.
Dealers in these communities all work for Sheridan-area buyers:
Wyoming allows concealed carry without a permit for adults 21 and older who may lawfully possess a firearm, and open carry of a holstered single action is legal. The optional concealed firearm permit, useful when you travel, is issued by the Division of Criminal Investigation of the Attorney General's office, with applications taken by the Sheridan County Sheriff. Schools, courts, government meetings and posted places stay off limits; check the current statute before you travel with a revolver.
Wyoming Game and Fish sets deer, elk and pronghorn seasons by hunt area, and most nonresident and many resident licenses come through the spring draw. Rifle seasons for deer commonly run in October and November, with dates that differ from one hunt area to the next. Big game must be taken with a centerfire cartridge that meets the state's minimum caliber and energy rules, which the .30-30 and .45-70 meet. Read the current Wyoming Game and Fish regulations for your hunt area.
Sheridan backs onto the Bighorn National Forest, with mule deer and whitetail in the creek bottoms below it. Hunt areas and license numbers change each year, so check the Wyoming draw results.
Ranch country east of town runs to the Powder River Basin, where a lever-action rifle in a saddle scabbard still makes sense. The Bighorns give elk and mule deer country within an hour.
The public ranges on the city pages are run or listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Fees, hours and allowed firearms are set by the agency or the club that manages the range.
