Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Single Shot picture thread

I have been wanting a single shot rifle and would love to see your single shots.
Most of my shooting has been done with Marlin 39TDS and Origional Golden 39M .22s though I did have a Savage 72 Crackshot from one of the runs in the 80s that I used to shoot alot so have used a falling block action some too.
Just got a Guide Gun so will probably be looking for another 45/70 when I get that single shot I am dreaming about.

"Click" on the net address (below) to take a look at the Ruger #1 single shot rifles...

And here's the best of 'em all... a classic rifle in a classic cartridge (the 7x57 Mauser):

This should be a good thread. Can I post pictures of ones I don't own yet?

Of course... I just did !~!~!

LOL, sure as long as it's a nice pic. I would post a picture of the old Model 72 Crackshot but my sister took it away, she said it was too nice for me to take out in the woods. It's the one that got me hooked on octagonal barrels.

The 72 is the reissued version of the 26 Crackshot, correct?

Here's a 26. I wouldn't mind one.

There are some similarities but probably more differences.

My new 450/400. This pic is from the online store as it hasn't arrived yet:



This is my .458 Lott. I have a 9.3X74R ordered but no pics yet:



I also own some SS Sakos and coopers but they are bolt guns.
Sorry to those that have seen these pics on another thread.

This thread has some pics of a Ruger #1 in 45/70 which is the handiest of the #1 I think. It balances in your hands very well.

Scroll down the page and you'll see the single shots! The take down model is what got me fired up to build MY FIRST RUGER #1.

As far as bolt action .22s, I adore the Winchester 67/67a

Most of these have been posted before, but I figured you may want to see them again!

Wow.

You've got some nice shooters there, sir.

Thanks!
I don't own some of them anymore, but have owned and shot all of them at one time, some of them extensivly.
The RSI has come and gone a nuumber of times!

They are all fun to shoot however, and some will go 5 shots less that 6" at 1,000 meters ( the one with the deer as a matter of fact).
Unforunately I am not a computer savvy guy, so some of the pics are too big.

catnthehat, I'd like to know more about the Ruger with the rail and heavy barrel.

No picks of my no. 1 yet, but the wood is darn plain. I love my Browning 1885 low wall.

I have many wants. A stable mate 1885, #3, and Steven's Fav for my #1 are among the top of that list of wants. Falling block, single shots are the quintisential classic.

You have a low wall, and it's likely in .260 - I HATE you!!
The "one ton gun" was a cominded effert by V Bull precision and
Rangesports Unlimited.
They built abbout seven of them, I think, designed for Fclass shhooting.
this one is 6BR, I have shhot one in 308Win, and another in 6.5X284.
All are lasers! The owner of V Bull put 17 rounds under 2" at 600 meters with the 6BR at a match.

The forend is CNC machined aluminum, and a shrink fit onto the Ron Smith barrel.
Triggger is a Moyers, stock bt Rangesports Unlimted.
Scope is IOR Valdada.
Shot and sold it, just not my bag, I prefer irons and slings !
Fantastic rifles though...

Here are a few:

A low wall that I built with a lot of help.


It has since been checkered and case colored but the photo of it in the final condition is huge but you can see it at:

A flinter I built


a Ballard that I used to own, but also too big to post on the forum directly...

A Borchardt that I've been working on - it is not done yet, but it's shooting.


I have a bunch more, but I don't have pictures handy at the moment.

Wow, I never imagined there were so many different single shot rifles out there still being used. Lots of variety and beauty.

I never get tired of posting this one. .260 Low Wall with factory gloss finish stripped and oil type finish applied by HK Custom Guns.
