R2 Lovell High Wall

Had the opportunity to take this nice old varmint rig built in Ohio by an unknown smith- allegedly by himself for his own collection per previous owner who had obtained rifle from estate of smith in the 1970s.  It does have a set trigger and Mann niedner firing pin.  Work is nicely done and it is chambered in the R2 Lovell caliber.  Previous owner sold a nice amount of reloads and brass with rifle so I was tickled.  The rifle shoots great and loves a nice load of 12.5 gr lil gun with 40 gr nosler.  I took her out to run the paces on a steel groundhog silhouette target at the farm today.  She did not disappoint!

Very nice rifle! 

As an aside, we have a Stevens 417(?) that was rebarreled by MS Risley, Risley is the R in the R2 Lovell
