If you don't have one, you buy one and call it a multipurpose rake.

I have a favorite leaf rake? Who knew??

Hey All,

Good shooting! I assume the 100 and 200 were standing off hand also. I wouldn't want to get my knee wet kneeling in the snow. We may need to start calling you Quigley...

[RanchRoper]

Ha...I actually was on 1 knee for the 100 and 200. Not ready for off hand standing shots at those distances....

What ever happened to the Low Wall you were supposed to be getting???/ Shrps74

[RanchRoper]

It's a high wall and still waiting. The guy who imports had to renew his license....red tape through Washington and Ottawa. Said before Xmas his shipments should be moving soon. Not in a hurry now cuz I spent the dough on winter tires and truck repairs anyway....

If it's not here by spring, will go to plan b...maybe start reloading 45-70 and go with a different single shot.

For 100+ yds I use binoculars to check each shot. Ladder sight is tricky. Easy to send lead way over the target.

I like the butt cuff - where did you find it?

I have had a couple. High quality and rugged.

RR...there is a reason I said "Low Wall"...Yes, officially all 1885s are listed as High Walls...HOWEVER; those of us that have been shooting them for 20 or more years, differentiate the pistol caliber/rifle caliber units as Low Wall for the pistol caliber models and High Wall for the rifle calibers...there is quite the difference in the two..so, I will always use the "Low" term for pistol caliber rifles...all you need to do is pull up the pics for both...you'll see...Mo' later.

Fair enough. Cimarron offered both. Low Wall in 45 Colt and High Wall in 45-70.
Dealer told me Cimarron no longer imports either from Uberti but said he could get both in 45 Colt from Taylors. So I went with the High Wall in 45 Colt. Like the looks better than Low Wall.

[North Country Gal]

I like the looks of a Low Wall on the appropriate cartridges, such as our Low Wall configured rimfires. The Low Wall does expose more of the hammer for easier cocking, bit no big deal. Go with the one you like.

[RanchRoper]

Exactly. To me the High Wall just looks a little more old timey. But both are cool and hope mine shows up before I'm too old to lift it....

RR on the count of 3 hit the floor. Ready 1,2,3 Begin push ups 25 reps lets go 1, 2, 3,

Al is right RR. Better stay in shape prior to receiving that heavy rifle...

[RanchRoper]

If shoveling manure counts I will be ok....

[BigAl52]

I might prefer the push ups

[North Country Gal]

Hey, no kidding on the weight of these classic single shots. My Winchester Low Wall Hunter series are pretty reasonable, though, as are some versions of the Ruger No 1.

[RanchRoper]

My plan is to learn to shoot it without the crossed sticks. Standing or from 1 knee (mostly). We'll see. Looking forward to the challenge.
