Excellent Winchester Model 1885 Special Order High Wall Takedown Schuetzen Rifle with a Winchester A5 Scope

This is an exceptionally attractive example of a late production Winchester Model 1885 Schuetzen target rifle. This Schuetzen rifle has the desirable takedown action with the standard late Schuetzen rifle features such as the 30 inch round barrel, double set triggers with the late "S" pattern scroll loading lever, and the Laudensack two-prong steel buttplate. It is fitted with the deluxe fancy walnut Laudensack pattern walnut Schuetzen buttstock and forend with both being factory checkered on the sides. The forend is fitted for the late door knob pattern palm rest. The barrel is cut for the front sight dovetail only; however, no front sight was installed, and there is blank plate in the dovetail. There was no rear sight seat cut into the barrel since it was fitted with a Winchester A5 scope. The left, middle area of the barrel is roll marked with the Winchester factory two-line markings of: "MANUFACTURED BY THE/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A." followed by "32-40" at the breech end. The underside of the barrel in front of the forend is stamped with a "3" for the barrel weight. The pistol grip is fitted with the standard Winchester hard rubber grip cap that is marked: "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO." and the forend is fitted with the factory installed small, ebony insert. The top tang is marked in three lines "PAT.OCT. 7TH 79./WINCHESTER/TRADEMARK", and the lower tang is marked with serial number "113324A". The barrel is fitted with a set of Winchester scope blocks that are 7 inches on center between the blocks. It is fitted with a standard Winchester A5 scope that comes with their original Winchester pattern target mounts. The scope has an all blued metal finish with the standard Winchester factory two-line markings on the front end of the scope tube. It is fitted with the standard cross-hair reticle. This rifle is in outstanding condition with Winchester factory commercial high polish blued metal finish and a color casehardened loading lever and breech block.

ConditionExcellent with 95% of the bright original blue finish overall, light edge wear, and minor specks of rust visible on both sides in the paneled area. The loading lever retains 90% of its vivid case colors remaining on the lever, and the steel buttplate has faded to a silvery/blue/brown patina. The buttstock and forend are both in excellent condition with only very minor handling marks on the sides and the fine checkering showing nice sharp diamonds overall. The Winchester scope retains 95% of its blue finish overall with clear sharp markings and optics with a complete reticle. A very nice looking late production Winchester Model 1885 Schuetzen rifle with scope.
