Deely & Edge take-down sporter chambered in .250 rook. This is the first one that I have encountered, I really like it.

Definitely a rifle to own and admire! These little rook rifles have great lines to them.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Always wondered if Louis Hepburn saw one of those before he designed the Hepburn rifle?
Beautiful rifle!

Steve,
Very nice little gun.
Is it a similar size to the Fraser rook? They are really tiny.

I happened to have a Fraser rook here as well so I measured both, Fraser 1.050" wide, Westley 1.150" wide. The Fraser is a bit smaller.

This one found me. The owner found a post that I had made about a .303 1881 Deeley & Edge I owned and contacted me.
I adopt wayward British falling blocks as often as I can rationalize it.

I imagine it’s about the size of my Holland and Holland and with me holding it gives a perspective of its small size. My H&H has a H&H scope on it serialized the same as the 300 Rook rifle.

Nice little Holland and especially nice to have the original scope with it.
A few more pics.

How does the takedown work on it? Barre appears to turn sideways,but is there a lever to release it, apparently no extractor cuts in the way.

I believe there is a catch at the bottom of the barrel forearm that is pulled forward to allow the barrel to unscrew. I can just see it on the back of the forearm in the picture of the gun taken down.
