About this product

Rooted in late 19th-century American rifle design, the Taylors & Company 1885 High Wall is a single-shot rifle built for deliberate, accurate shooting. It pairs a broached, high-carbon steel octagon barrel in a matte blued finish with a color case-hardened receiver and a single-set trigger. The rifle carries a fixed pistol-grip walnut stock with a cheek piece and a large butt plate, and the tang is drilled and tapped to accept a tang sight. Its configuration suits traditional long-range target work and classic hunting scenarios where single-shot precision and historical styling are valued.
