I bought an 1885 high wall in 300wsm. I took the rifle to New Zealand for red stag and I love it. It is very and I love the fact that its design has not changed from the first rifle until now. It is a heavy rifle, but that adds to its accuracy andI love a long barrel with the magnums. This year I believe they are offering it in 30-06.

There are a lot of interesting single shot actions available and a person could have almost anything built on one or the other. One of the most fun rifles I ever had was a little .357 Magnum built on the small Martini action. It made into a beautiful rifle in both function and looks and although mine was only for short range varmint hunting, it was a blast. I deserve a sound thrashing for ever getting rid of it.[:@]
Anyway, I mention all this to show you your options for this project may be much broader than you first thought.

I second the 1885 High Wall... very heavy though. I also Love Ruger # 1's, however, some have accuracy issues while some are spot on immediately. May need a little tweaking.



But the price tag on it hurts a bit. It would cost almost twice as much as my MkII did.[&:]
