Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Single Shot picture thread

Nice wood. Good looking rifle. I hope it shoots as well as it looks!

Here's another that recently found it's way into my safe. A Frank Wesson 3rd variation in .44 Extra Long, with 30" full octagon barrel, deluxe wood, and unusual cased receiver. The plated receivers were most commonly found.

VERY nice rifle Vall!! I am envious.

Thannks Steve!

Very nice rifle AND tang sight!

This is my first time, so hopefully she works...
A nice 50" Canadian taken near La Crete, Alberta, and
a HUGE bison taken near the Wood Bison National Monument in Northeren Alberta. These probably should be in the hunting forums, but hey, they DO have #1's in 'em!!

These pictures are a little more in line with the subject.
First, my #1AH's with Circassian walnut




Then, my new 9.3x74R



And then my Shiloh Sharps 1874 45-70


I've got about twenty #1's in various configurations, but these are the only ones that I have pictures of presently. I'll see about fixing that soon.

Finally got a single shot myself, a Contender pistol with a 10" octagonal barrel in 22lr.



Next I want a Ruger No. 1

Hey onseonek1, good to see you over here, I was just over at SP.
Beautiful No. 1. How do you like that JP brake?
Josh

The stainless is a 30-06. Bought it off a used gun rack in Havre, MT. The guy had had it for about two years and said the previous owner claimed it wouldn't shoot. I threw together two loads of five shells apiece and went out to the range. 3 shot clover leaf at 100 yards with 180 grain Hornady Interbonds. I don't have the loading data in front of me, but I could get it out to you if you want.
Todd

BigSkyGuy,
Thanks for the reloading data offer but I don't reload yet. Over on the Specialty Pistols forum they have got me persuaded I need to start since I want a pistol 45/70 barrel for my Contender. My wife's Ruger 30-06 sure shoots good.
Josh

Hi Josh,
When working at longe range without a spotter, it's a blessing. Virtually zero recoil with 6mmAI , makes seeing bullet impact easy.
Dave

Here are my current No. 1's. The top one is a #1 AH in .25-06 with Circassian walnut. The next one down is a .375 H&H built in 1971 or '72. The next one is a .416 Rigby (Elmer Keith prairie dog gun). And the bottom one is a .45-70, which I believe also has a Circassian buttstock. The .375 & .416 aren't too bad to shoot, even with full-house loads, BUT that .45-70 is absolutely brutal and will screw you into the ground with about anything over 1900 fps.

This is too good to let die!! We need more pictures! Here is a custom stocked #1B .223 that is cut down two inches. Blued steel checkered butt plate, custom pistol grip cap, wrap around checkering on the forearm. Notice the checkering all the way to the pistol grip cap...nice!! Pictures could be better, but you get the idea.




I'm having a couple more done by the same guy that did this one, but with a little better quality wood. I can't wait!!

Todd

Here is a picture of my latest Remington 40-XB. It is a single-shot action with thumbhole stock in .220 Swift.



Unfortunatly, due to a slight problem (bleeding retina) the eye doctor does not want me to lift more that ten to fifteen pounds (this qualifies) and not to shoot for a while because of the recoil!

Boy! That sure killed this thread, didn't it!!

Ruger #1 45-70 Govt.

Wade,

What a georgeous .45/70! That is definitely a "Keeper".
