To get back on the subject, I started off with a Highwall in .219 Wasp, then came the first of many #1's(now 9), found the rarest of all, a .577 Highwall, then became entranced with the Farquharson's (now 4), and plummeted into the depths further by discovering Alex Henrys (4). The devil will have me for sure if a decent Fraser shows itself. ................but they do offer a quiet satisfaction and hours spent in research. .....Every bit as bad as those double rifles that are in competition for my time.

My Father picked up this oldGerman Single shot stalking rifle about 2 years ago.I Hunted on the web, called all over god's green earth looking for what it was. Finaly found out it was a 8.15x46R chamber. Even found a set of scope rings for it. it had it's own weird mount's on the gun.
He had paid $125.00 for it, NO I am not kidding!! I told him if he didn't want it I would take it, After all the call's & hours on the internet, as I told him I wanted it he said sorry sold it about a week earlier. For $750.00..... Wish I had Known he was even considering selling it!!!
Since that we have a arrangement, if he buy's a new gun I get to see it, if it is something I might possibly someday maybe want I tell him Right away!!

All the best


Treblig, I'm pretty sure the six-man American team shot three Remington RBs and three Sharps. The Irish team lost the match when one of their shooters shot the wrong target by mistake!
