Designed by Lewis Hepburn the mechanical department superintendent for Remington, the Hepburn rifle was patented in 1879 and produced from 1880 until 1907 in several variations including the Sporting Rifle, Mid-Range No. 3 Target Rifle, and a Long-Range Creedmoor Rifle.

The Hepburn rifle incorporated two unique features that were patented by Mr. Hepburn: a rebounding hammer system (No. 162,473) and a side lever (No. 220,426) to lower and raise the breech block. The Hepburn rifle enjoyed an excellent reputation both on the target range and in the game fields.

C. Sharps Arms Co. Inc. is pleased to offer the Hepburn rifle keeping this innovative design in the hands of discerning shooters for generations to come.
