Like stagecoaches, swinging saloon doors and Pony Express
riders, there are many innovations of the Old West that have long faded from
use and live on only in Western movies and history books.
But there are still a few frontier staples that were so
effective and ahead of their time that they remain in use today. Take, for
instance, the intimidating octagonal barrels commonly found on the repeating
rifles of that period. These heavy-duty workhorses sported added mass and extra
weight to aid in heat absorption, making them the forerunners to the bull
barrels used on modern target and varmint rifles.
So as a tip of our Stetson in honor of this timeless barrel
style, we replaced the standard round barrel normally used on our world-famous
.22 LR and .22 Magnum rifles with a classic 20″ octagonal model, like those
favored by the cowpunchers, lawmen, homesteaders and outlaws who blazed the
trail westward across America. You can also opt for the 24″ barrel option to
really tighten up those groups at the range. We rounded out this traditional
look with an easy-to-adjust Marbles semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond
insert and a highly visible brass beaded front sight seated in standard 3/8″
dovetail slots. A metal barrel band secures both the barrel and the
high-capacity tubular magazine to the highgrade American walnut stock.
If you prefer a more modern look, the receiver is grooved so
you can top off any rifle in this line with your choice of scopes. Both the
stock and forearm are crafted of the same richly grained hand-finished American
walnut typically found on rifles costing up to three times as much.
