The weather is too wet to go shoot gophers, so I went upstairs to the gun room and took pictures of guns in different categories.

First picture is all 38-40’s.

The center rifle with the Schuetzen DST is my 38 WCF…

Better, but I doubt that any of them are 38-40s !

Shrapnel-

I suppose even gophers need a day off. Well played!

Any gophers in my yard today would need scuba gear.  Shrapnel–I really like the model 1873 deluxe rifle!  Nice grouping all together, even if it doesn’t have one of Bert’s babies.  Offer to baby sit for him??  Tim

Nope, I have a real nice and rare original high wall in 25-35 with double set triggers, shotgun butt, heavy barrel , sling studs and it’s a takedown on top of all that…

Shrapnel,  I do remember when you got your highwall in .25-35.  Seems to me you submitted photos of some gophers you shot with it soon after getting it?  But I meant to baby sit Bert’s single shot in .38-40 to go with the ones you pictured.  You do have some wonderful eye candy, as Mike would say!  Tim

Nice collection of guns.  I have a few that aren’t Winchester too.

I’d love to have that bottom Burgess. These have become quite pricey.  Got a picture of it folded up?

 This past winter I developed and loaded some special “Gopher” loads for my 38 WCF Single Shot rifle… a 180-gr Hornady XTP bullet sitting on top of 22-grains of A2400 powder. Cool

Here’s a couple Bert wishes he had, the 25-35 and a low wall 22 LONG with half round half octagon and marked “From W F Sheard Livingston Montana”

Yes indeed… especially the Take Down high-wall.  

What is the serial number on the low-wall rifle?
