Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Browning ( Winchester) single shot photo thread..... post em!

There's been lots of photo threads for other favorites. How about a Browning Single Shot photo thread for those that enjoy them?

Heck, post your Winchesters too

High Walls / Low Walls, post em up!

My one and only ( so far ).

Low Wall .260.

This 25-06 has killed so many deer and antelope in Montana, there is a shrine erected for it. My father shot his last deer with it when he was 91...

MS "primitive" rifle. 375 H&H

My 1885 High Wall (mentioned elsewhere) in 6.5x55mm:



And the gory details, which includes a visit from Larry Root !

1994 Browning 7mmRM stock took a buck in 2014


1994 Browning 7mmRM stock took a buck in 2014


2005 Uberti 30-30 rebarreled to 257Roberts ackley rimmed and took a buck in 2012

A original High Wall, circa 1900, that was rebarreled by someone, and turned into a real thumper of a .45-90 carbine



My first 2 deer fell to a Browning B78 in .25-06. I still own that rifle and really ought to take it out again one of these days. I don't have any photos of it

I had a Browning Low Wall in .22 Hornet; it was a neat rifle and a good shooter. I'd love to find one of the .260's, or a 6.5x55. But I think I might grab a .223 and have someone rebore & rechamber to .30-30.

Sorry, no dead animals, but a pretty 45-70 Govt.

Here you go. I no longer kill stuff, but these rifles are hell on targets. Steel out to 1540 yards, bone stock Browning .45-70 no less. Oh yeah, that's with iron sights and my 75 y/o eyes. Lower rifle is a .22 rf, Lilja barrel.

My one and only (but not last), a Winchester in 22 Hornet

Another Low Wall is on my bucket list for varminting... but a .223, so I can tailor loads from Hornet levels, to "stunt " shooting an occasional deer....

223 makes a lot more sense, but I like odd ball stuff that it's hard to find brass for. . Maybe I should turn it into a 225 Winchester.

I wouldn't touch it. Those are cool little guns that are just right for a lot of varminting tasks

One guy in Oregon had his chamber opened up for the K-Hornet version. I'm not sure he gained much, but it is a cool looking case.

.260

Really nice wood!!!!!

Like the scope choice also.

Very nice!

As I understand it, only about 280 some .260's were produced...?
There appears to be four, by my count owned by 24HR Campfire members!

Lately, the Hornet would qualify for that.

+1

I have one I bought a long time ago in Ronan Montana.

Nice rifle to carry and extremely accurate.

I've never heard an exact number but it couldn't have been many. I remember an ad in the Gun List somewhere around '98 advertising the limited run. Mine came along in 2005. I'm sorry to say I have not hunted with it much and have yet to point it at a deer. There's still time though. I need to confirm the zero. It shoots like a bench gun with factory Remington 120 Accutip.

Both of my 300 WSM's:

30-06 and 45-70

260
