Hoping to see a picture or two of a schutzen rifle, there must have not been that many seems to be zero pictures.
Thanks Chris

David, Whos rifle is that you have photos of.? Do you know what the brass plate says? Steve and I have Each bought photos of a fella Named Frank Scott with a rifle that looks a lot like the one pictured and the closeups sure look a lot like Franks gun has the same plate on the cheek piece. Steves photo... Mine, close up

I hope David made notes of length and maybe across the flats at the muzzle Sure looks like the same rifle to me.

Wow, that looks really close, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Yep, Franklin Scott's Schutzen. There's a photo below. It now belongs to a guy named Bob Funk. He told me he had no interest in selling it. It would have been in my next book if there had been a next book. Just one of the many things that are going to be lost to posterity thanks to the greed of my publisher. The barrel looked like 26". I didn't have a micrometer but it seems like the barrel looked thicker than normal. I have more photos if you guys want to see anything else specific about the rifle. David

These pics are interesting too. I wonder if this brass plate was there to protect the wood if a Palma rest was used.

I am hoping someone will remember the rifle shown here way back , memory says 32-40 it was shown for information or for sale and was pictured on a soft case.
I have been thinking about puting something like this together I have a 30" heavy octagon barrel that would make an interesting 38-55 rifle

It never pays to be in a hurry. That last pic is the brass plate on the bottom of the buttstock of Bob's 99K, not the Schutzen. CTW, that sounds like an interesting project. David

Me. Scott took damn good care of his 99. Any idea of the dates on the photos?

I have an 1899CD schutzen in 32-40 with a 26" 1/2R - 1/2O that looks very much like the rifle pictured, except for three things;
1. Mine has different sights, a target-style front sight that is marked "Stevens" (if my memory serves me) and a vernier-style tang peep sight. 2. A palm rest that is attached via a machined brass mount that screws into the forearm hanger. 3. Mine doesn't have the raised cheek-piece or a brass plaque.

It seems like Scott's rifle would have had some sort of target front sight.

Jeff, that's quite the rare and interesting rifle. How does the butt plate compare to the one pictured?

I don't think he does email. Will PM you his phone number if you promise not to try to buy the rifle. I'm hoping he'll sell it to me if he ever decides to let it go. David
