	Thanks. Mine is off to Ballard Rifles in the next week to have a new single-set trigger installed. As I'm going to shoot it, might as well try to be competitive. That close-set trigger on splitpatch's High Wall is great.

	Hi, this is my Zimmerstutzen. I'm still learning about it... I don't know yet what ammo goes in it! But I think it's in excellent condition considering it's age.

	Greetings K and welcome to the forum. Could we get a good shot of the loading mechanism? Frank Elliott

	Thanks, Frank. I'm posting some older pictures and I just took a couple new ones to show you as well. There are some numbers stamped into the underside of the stock. They are "7" over "6992". The only other marking is "L. Dieter in Munchen" on the barrel. You have a great name, Frank. Of course, I got mine from my husband! Kate Elliott

	A Stevens Favorite I bought this for my wife a couple of weeks ago (no, it really is for her). Only markings on the rifle are H.G. Hansen on the sight adapter base. Nothing on the barrel. Redone in the '40s or '50s? Mike

	Nice find and a gorgeous Rifle Mike someone spent allot of time and effort on it and did a really nice job along the way. How does it shoot? J.Louis

	Thanks for the comment. It was a safe queen for about 25+ years with the previous owner and when my wife thought that she'd like to shoot 22s with us a friend of mine said that he had a rifle she might like. Seems like a lot of work to put into a Favorite but whoever the guy was did a nice job. We haven't done too much with it yet just trying to find what it likes to shoot. Windage adjustment is kind of iffy the way the sight is set up but I think that it will be competitive at least at our local range. Mike

	MIke, the Museum at SouthWestern Michigan (Jr) College In Dowagiac MI has a small display of some Neidner material. Included is Tom Shelhammer's personal squirrel hunting rifle, in some ways a lot like your wife's. A very gussied up favorite. Neidner .22rf barrel of course, nice high grade stock --by Tom, naturally. I donltrecall the sights---its been a few years since I looked at it, but I think there was a tang sight and an early scope. one difference is that it was fully engraved by one of the masters of the era--don't remember who. but in one major way your wife's is better, it's gonna be used well. not stuck forever in a glass case

	I'll try posting a couple of my 7.5x55 Hammerelli/martini. This "swiss stutzen" appears to date from the 20's maybe very early 30's. the action and stock are very similar to the ones Springfield bought from Hammerelli and rebarreled in .30-'06 for building "intl. free rifles". I don't know enough about proofs to come up with a closer date. The top of the breechblock shows some lightly oxidized nickel-plate and the lever some faint traces of the same. The wood is solid with some wear marking but shows good care. There is a large "dutchman" plug/patch in the forend that appears to be contemporary with the mfg of the rest of the stock In what I am told is the standard for Swiss gvmt. spec. Stutzen rifles designed for competition with gvmt. issue mil. match ammo; the rear sight is a finely crafted sliding open rear with built-in elevation and windage. The front sight is a round-butted front-insert dovetailed plain post--that oddly enough is precisely the same dovetail size and contour and precisely interchangeable with the one on my German 22 rf schuetzen. I have one of Steve Earle's clamp-on scope base adapter that clamps solidly to the rear sight dovetail "rail" with out leaving a mar.

	For something a little different, here's a Belgian Comblain in .50-70.
