795 would, of course, have the rare short base. It should be an outstanding example of the rarer early target rifle. Nice find..any pics?

Oh, now I'm catching on. All these questions about the sight were just teasers !!  Cheesy  Yes I agree with Don, we definately need some good clear pictures of your early long range Ballard 4570SS. Its time to share the real goods!

Joe, I have not shot this rifle yet. I had posted earlier about paper patching , and thats where I may start. The rifle is indeed 44/100, as for the bore it looks good. I still hope to get back to my late friends loading room and look for the pp bullets . I just have to make arrangements with his widow and set a time. I know that he had to have some already cast....he was that way. I have the cases,loading dies,sights and a few loaded rounds. Thanks for doing the legwork on posting the pix. 4570ss

Just a follow up on the 44/100. I did get to look through my friends loading room in search of cast paper patch bullets. I found about a hundred already cast and about 80 used cases. Smiley Now for the good part... I found the mould for these bullets. I brought them upstairs into the office and left a fair bid for these items. I will give her some time to check and see if this is a fair offer. I might be into paper patching shortly. 4570ss
