Tom,
The Ballard rifles are as nice as originals. The actions are the same as originals and they did not destroy the design
like Winchester/Browning.
The copy of the Jeffery Sharps (High Wall) as a rook rifle looks great. If available in 7X57R I would sure be happy to have one. I am not sure why they say only for .22 LR or pistol rounds as the picture shows a High wall actioned rifle.
I have never seen an original Jeffry High Wall but the Ballard African Express looks very nice.
Cheers,
