1899 DH 16 /30
 

It was feeling unloved so I took it to the Missouri Trap Shooters range at Linn Creek Missouri and put 100 rounds of Federal 1 oz loads through it. At full and fuller it reaches out there and smokes them when I do my job.

Some people say that Parker dogs looked like Pluto. OK, if you say so.

Pluto's buddy

Attached to that streaky, smoky, dark European walnut

And it has a buddy, too. You know, for long range defense against the on rushing hordes.

Lovely gun Bruce! What does it have on the floor plate? I have a similar gun same year but not quite as nice of condition that has is a 3 dog 12.

Bruce, that is a great rifle - what caliber?

Here you go.

The 1885 High Wall is in 38-55. It shoots standard loads of 150 grains to 300 grains, the latter a heavy load very potent out to at least 300 to 400 yards. Maybe I'll try Billy Dixon's 1874 one mile shot some time to knock a Comanche warrior off his horse.

Bruce, outstanding, thanks

1895, or 1885? Oh, I get it, an 1885, made in 1895.

Typo. 1885 made by C Sharps in Big Timber Montana in 2016

I figured if those Michigan fellows were getting their modern sporting rifles , I would too. I wouldn't want to be accused of being anti-gun.

I leave for Montana in five weeks for the Powder River and Rosebud country. I hope to have a better time of it than the 1876 Reynolds and Crook expeditions and certainly a better time of it than a Michigander did in June of that year.
