I could not find any markings on the barrel, will have to examine the twist closer. I am reasonably certain the forearm is not original as it is checkered and the wood does not match. Also beavertail shape.

Henry surprises with its wood sometimes.

About Stevens.... a model 56 , Ladies Target Rifle in .22 LR.

Pappy348 - Need got nothing to do with it!

That's a dandy. One of the guys at our local schuetzen matches employs one occasionally and it's a very serious contender.

Looked again, still no markings on the barrel, grins...
~22.5" barrel, 8 grooves/lands, RH twist. Suspect it's not a Pope, that's ok, wont feel so bad when I drag it around the woods looking for a moose, still need to get some blood on it.!

Now that is my idea of a single shot rifle!

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 (the Cody letter actually names this a Swiss buttplate with carved cheekpiece) , 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 x's 2!

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).

Here's my Stevens 414 Armory, 22. It's a blast shooting little chips left from clay pigeons. Had my Daughter and SIL at camp. When we had broken all the pigeons my SIL started down with new ones. I said leave those up here, we're not done yet. My Daughter said there are no more targets? I said see those orange chips on the board? She said, you can't hit them. I said I can, can you. First shot and she vaporized one. Love to teach new shooters to aim at small targets, to hit small targets.

Sexy.

Pronghorn's last thought - "Sh*t, he had to be carrying a Sharps."

Beautiful rifle!
Where did the bullet impact, and what was the damage like?

Beautiful rifle as usual schrapnel. Is that a 77. I've dreamed of taking my sharps hunting, but need to get better at shooting it.

210 yards, through the heart. Unspectacular as far as bullet performance, a cast 405 grain bullet at 1200 fps just pokes a 45 caliber hole. The bigger the meplat, the better the effect.


It is a Shiloh 1877 with presentation wood and a 5 year wait.
