Here are a couple of Gibbs, 303 British and a fully rifled 12 bore . Both have been hunted but only the 12 has been successful so far. View attachment 681273View attachment 681274View attachment 681275View attachment 681276

That rifle is one of the few I would describe as sexy.

As a right-hander who shoots left the majority of the time, I like ambidextrous rifles. So I'm a fan of single-shot falling-blocks & their simplicity. They work really well for a lot of the hunting that I do.

I often start hunting in the fall with my my Winchester 1885 Traditional Hunter in 405 Win or Browning 1885 in 44 Magnum because the regulations allow it during the primitive season.

My Ruger No. 1A in 303 British is a sentimental favorite & a great choice for where I hunt.

It's nice to be able to open a safe & grab a single-shot or a single-shot or another single-shot. Winchester, Browning, Uberti, Ruger? I've got options in seven different chamberings to choose from.

I really like the compact size of my Ruger No. 1 RSI chambered in 275 Rigby. Shooting Rigby ammo (aka 140gr Hornady InterLock SP) with a 2-7x33 scope, it works really well as a deer rifle.

I've taken the most deer with my Ruger No. 1A in 6.5x55 shooting 140gr Partitions. Either I've been very lucky or this rifle excels at dropping deer in their tracks because zero tracking is usually required.

I absolutely love the 1885 low and hiwalls. The are pure simplicity and class. Mine is a slick as snot on glass.
Mine is a lowall made in 1897 with the flat spring. Originally a 44-40 with a half octagon half round barrel. The bore was rusted and pitted so I had it sleeved with a 22K Hornet barrel. Firing pin was re-bushed and a new bit of wood put on it and custom handmade scope mount. Mounted with a 3.5-10X44 meopta. My favourite load is a 40gn VMax, 12gn 2205, br4 primer and coal length of just under 1.9". Velocity 2,900fps and three shots can be covered by the base of a Hornet case at 100 yards.
If'n my budget could afford it I would have a Browning hiwalls in 25-06 in a heart beat.
Still looking for a CVA single shot in 25-06 with a 26" tube tho.
