That's very nice! Who built it and what's it chambered in?

Steve Durren built a highwall for me and the attention to detail is just amazing. It's definitely the finest rifle I own.
If I ever get another rifle built it'll pretty much be exactly like the one in your picture, except left handed and in .32-40.
Thanks for posting the picture.

Stunning rifle! It's exactly what I would want in an 1885 schuetzen model!

Absolutely elegant rifle there. Modern rifles sure have come a long way from the magnificence of that example.
Now after all that beauty ***(Gag warning!)***, for contrast take a look at the picture to see what's in the rack on the counter behind it. Progress? Rifles or crayons?
I warned ya.

Wow..... You may have changed my mind on what to do with a Hi Wall action I have had in the drawer for about 20 years. Now it is only the cost I have to contend with.

I'll get more pics to dad soon ladies and gents, I'm pretty impressed with the work. It's a super nice rifle, just too small for me to shoot, I can squeeze my arm in the butt plate, but its painful, ☹️
It's got a matted barrel as well, difficult to photograph. I'll keep trying.
