Biebs was kind enough to send this fine high-wall along with a number of loaded rounds. I added the Ziess Conquest 3-9 scope. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Rifles/KC9A9167.1_zpsstxhbf6d.jpg) The acrylic finish has been stripped and the metal "antiqued". I do believe it will be a shooter and a superb "hoglet" roller! ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/groups2/KC9A9180_zpskf4ta5j1.jpg) First shot @ 100 yds out of a cold barrel after zero! ya!

That one's no good. You want the one with the steel crescent buttplate that tomahawks your shoulder with every pull of the trigger. Builds character.
What fresh Hell is this?

Yeah,
One of the few rifles that have followed someone else home that I regret selling is the 1885 Browning HighWall in 454 Casul that I snagged for +/- $900 on a FTF. One last week went for $1,400 on GunBroker. I'd be a player at $950 or below.
ya!

My Low Wall .44 is gentle as a kitten, even with the tomahawk on the user end.

My Low Wall .44 is gentle as a kitten, even with the tomahawk on the user end. Pappy, You should put a disclaimer with that statement to the effect: "As long as you correctly shoulder it, my Low Wall .44 is gentle as a kitten..." Even my .357 Low Wall with heavy loads will light you up if you get one end or the other of the crescent in the wrong place.

GW,
I had one when I lived in Midland (1995/6). It was very, very accurate. It went down the road for a NIB #1 Liberty 45-70 that had crazy wood. It went down the road for a Marlin Guide Gun. The latter went down the road to Roger a bit ago as I am really enjoying my Browning M71 Carbine.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Even my .357 Low Wall with heavy loads will light you up if you get one end or the other of the crescent in the wrong place. A .357 was my first choice, but when a NIB .44 with good wood showed up, I jumped on it. Most I see now are .45s, which don't interest me (bracing for flames!).
