I used to have quite a few single shots, mostly varmint rifles. Almost all of them have passed on to other owners, but I still have a few: an original Winchester 1885 High Wall in .45-70, a Farquharson in .450/.400, a Sharps Borschardt Mid Range Target Rifle in .40-60, a Ruger No.1 in 9.3X74R, a Ruger No.3 in 6X47 and a Farrow in R-2 Lovell. However, if I were to go hunting this afternoon, this is the one I would take:
An original Winchester 1885 High Wall in 7X57R, metal work by my late friend and business partner, Harry Creighton of Nashville, Tennessee and the signature tiger maple stock by the late Hal Hartley of Lenoir, North Carolina.
