This lever activated falling block single shot target rifle was designed by Lewis Hepburn and was manufactured from 1883 to 1907 with approximately 10,000 in total production. The top barrel flat is marked "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y." ahead of the rear sight. Brass blade front and adjustable buckhorn rear sporting sights. The lower left side of the receiver is marked "HEPBURNS PAT./OCT 7TH 1879", and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. The barrel under the forearm is marked with the matching serial number and "2262". The barrel is marked "38" on the bottom, forward of the forend. The barrel is chambered for the 38-40 Remington Hepburn cartridge. Blue barrel, breechblock, hammer and trigger, casehardened remaining metal parts and mounted with a smooth forearm with an iron forend insert and checkered round knob pistol grip stock with iron early style sporting rifle buttplate.

Fine. The barrel retains 40% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. The receiver retains 50% original case colors with some very minor pitting and areas of smooth gray patina. The wood is very fine with most of the oil finish, a few scattered minor dents and dings, with crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
