I made a change, rifle and calibre wise, from today to yesteryear. I had a Ruger No. 1 in 22-250 that I've since given to my Son and replaced it with the following. An old custom Winchester High Wall, in 219 Donaldson Wasp. It also has a 10X J.UNERTL scope, so, calibre, rifle and scope are matching vintage. Now, I also have to fire form cases from 30-30 brass.
And as luck would have it, It seems to really like 50gr Hornady V-MAX reloads.
Do you know who smithed your high wall? It looks very similar to several Taylor & Robbins rifles I have seen, T&R chambered the .219DW rather often.
On the barrel, it's marked M. Atkinson Streetville On the CGN site a guy from eastern Canada contacted me stating it had been made by Maurice for a friend of his by the name of John Palmer. The guy that sent me the info apparently got it from his friend. Also, he said he's very interested re-acquiring it, should I ever decide to part with it.
