A Timeless Classic for the Long-Range Shooter
The Taylor's & Company 1885 High Wall Sporting rifle represents a direct lineage to America's golden age of rifle design. This is a purpose-built single-shot rifle that honors the traditions of late 19th-century long-range target shooting while delivering the reliability and accuracy that modern shooters demand.
Barrel and Action
The barrel is broached-rifled from high-carbon steel and finished in a practical matte blue. The 30-inch length provides the sight radius and velocity needed for precision shooting at distance. The receiver features case-hardened steel, a time-tested method that provides both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Trigger and Handling
The single-set trigger action allows you to adjust trigger pull weight to your preference—a feature that serious target shooters have valued for generations. The checkered forend and pistol-grip stock provide secure handling and control, while the integrated cheek piece supports proper sight alignment. A large butt plate ensures comfortable shooting from the bench or prone position.
Customization and Sighting
The tang is drilled and tapped to accept a tang sight, allowing you to mount period-correct or modern optics exactly where you need them. This flexibility makes the rifle suitable for both traditional and contemporary shooting disciplines.
The Right Choice
If you appreciate rifle design rooted in American sporting tradition and want a rifle that rewards precision and technique, the 1885 High Wall Sporting delivers on both counts.
