SCARCE WINCHESTER DELUXE MODEL 1885 HIGH WALL SCHUTZEN SINGLE SHOT RIFLE.

Revised: 3/22/2010

Correction: Gun letters as cal. 32 Ideal w/27” #2wt ½ round bbl. (Note: .32 Ideal was found to be inadequate for long range shooting as was the lightweight #2 bbl.) Gun was returned to the factory less than 2 months after the shipping date, most likely for the installation of the .38-55 #4 bbl that is a more generally accepted long range performer.
