My all time favorite non-double is a Whitney No.1 Sporting Rifle I found at a gun show many years ago that I suspect was used as a toy in many a game of Cowboys 'n Indians. It was battered and abused.

Originally a .38/40 Remington Hepburn, the barrel flat marked .38 CF, the chamber & bore were corroded beyond repair. I had her relined to .38/55 Winchester for convience, recased, reblued and refinished the wood.

I shot BPCR Silhouette with it some years back but at 7.25 lb. with the original carbine butt
plate it was absolutely brutal to shoot prone, she'd leave me black 'n blue for weeks! Nowadays it' my 200 yd. offhand rifle.

Norm, that's an interesting bunch of pictures they have on display. BTW it was nice to see one Savage among all the Winchesters!

I may have to join that group, just so I can shoot a deer with my old Marlin .38 WCF and send them a picture of it. Although I'd have about as much success with a shotgun, I imagine.
