1885 Low Wall that shipped in Oct., 1892 as a 25-20 with a #2 barrel. Went back to Winchester in 1908 and returned as a .22LR with a 30" #3 barrel. Weighs 10-4, all of it barrel, high grade wood, Scheutzen style buttplate, 3 leaf rear sight, tang sight, globe front sight, set trigger which I need to get adjusted, won't set.
I rest the barrel on a bag and I can get 2" at 50yds. Ultimate squirrel gun but you'd need a gunbearer.
Beautiful rifle RR!! I really like the 1885s - have one similar to yours that was customized by Frank Zika (a fellow that was a well known single shot smith) it was made in 1887 and he turned it into a “Schuetzen” style .22 I’m guessing some time in the 70s? - it shoots great and like yours is very heavy (but balances out of proportion to its weight).
