Keep in mind that BASSs came very early in the history of breech loaders, 'way before they were repeaters. And won some key conflicts, too.
That said, I don't think I'll be trading any of my 'walls for a BASS anytime soon, as captivating as some of the guns shown are.....

Now that you mention early BASSs I have a very nice 1871 Mauser. Lots of fun to shoot, attracts a lot of attention at the range, especially from the younger guys.

1871 Mausers were exactly what I was thinking of. And Dreyse "Needle Guns" etc. I HAVE seen sporters made of both (but will still keep the 'walls0.
'71 Mausers in good shape are uncommon, and often shoot uncommonly well. Especially fun on the Looooong Gooooong! Booooong!

I haven't actually used one, but I am intrigued by the Husqvarna Model 35. Single .30-30 bolt with very slender lines. It seems like it would be a fine deer gun. They also made smaller caliber versions for capercaille and a .45-70 for moose.

I wish somebody would make replacement extractors for those single shot Huskies. There seem to be a passle of them that are out of service because of this missing part. .25-20s, .32-20s, .30-30s, and all.
