I have about 25 SS rifles of different cal's. Ken

I have a Browning 1885 in 22 Hornet. My Dad has a Browning 1885 in 22-250. Love them both.

Just two:

Ruger #1 .458 WinMag, with a Burris fixed 3.5X,
Chinese CZ clone .22 bolt action trainer with open sights.

I love them both, but I don't shoot the .458 much! I learned from my time with my college small bore rifle team that one can consume massive amounts of ammunition using a single shot as the round is loaded directly from the box to the firearm (no time wasted fiddling with a magazine). I also have a single shot Colt Camp Perry handgun.

I have a Jeffery rook rifle that is at the smith's now and soon to be a .22 Hornet.

3 original British falling blocks and several modern copies and a Roller from .256 to .450NE.....too cool.

Although I might be know around here for double gun work, the largest part of my custom gunmaking has always been single shot rifles. Here are a few:
A High wall Express rifle in .45-70 (original action)

A Low Wall Winchester in .25-20 (original action)

Small frame Greener Martini .22 takedown, custom metal work by Brian Burgin with Ken Hurst engraving; BSA Model 12/15 Martini .22; Browning Lo-Wall .32 H&R (when is the last time you saw one of them?).

Ruger #1 in .338 win with a Burris 3-9 compact, ruger #1 in 22-250 with a Burris 6-18, and a Browning 78 in .270 gibbs with a 3-9 Burris signature.
