Thoughts on Winchester Highwall or varmint hunting.
Ive always wanted a single shot falling block single action, earlier on wanting a Ruger Number 1 but lately favoring a Winchester Highwall. Ive also been wanting another 220 swift and thought a Highwall in 220 swift would be great on rabbits. What are peoples thoughts on using a Highwall for varmint hunting? Can they be economically made with similar accuracy as bolt actions?

Re: Thoughts on Winchester Highwall or varmint hunting.
I understand the desire. There is something about falling block actions. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about them BUT I have a suspicion they could be just as accurate.RDavies wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2024 12:51 am Ive always wanted a single shot falling block single action, earlier on wanting a Ruger Number 1 but lately favoring a Winchester Highwall.
