Same website they have 1885 single shot trappers in 45-70....16" barrel....I would think it kicks like a mule.

Ya it looks very odd to me...not sure if I like it or not. Too light for stealth hunting in the bush I think. Maybe good at the beach...

The beach???Maybe good at the beach...
On my previous 'beach 'hunts' I was usually well armed with good beer & wines, quality local food, an extra lounge chair and suntan lotion!

When I first started my shooting 'career' very young it was of course with my dads guns - one of which was his Mod 152 Mossberg .22 semi auto (a very popular 'early' .22 rifle)
Well unfortunately (and for unknown reason) my dad at some point (long before my time) decided to strip the finish off the stock and to RUB WHITE PAINT into the wood!
Well this was not acceptable and I told my dad I wanted to refinish it back to original which he happily agreed to.
I had a neighbor who was very good with wood and he helped me out with the procedures to strip it, get the paint out and bring it back to original condition.
Well all went well and revealed the beautiful walnut you see and after 40 + years it is still in great shape!
