Originally designed by John M. Browning and built by the Winchester Firearms Co. the 1885 Lowwall and Highwall rifles are considered to be the pinnacle of single-shot rifle design. Mr. Browning was able to draw on his long experience of working with earlier single-shot rifle designs when he set out to build a design of his own. The new 1885 action was trim, elegant in appearance, and strong in construction. It incorporated both a rebounding hammer for safety and action that cocked on the closing of the finger lever making it ideally suited for both hunting and competition.

C. Sharps Arms Co. is proud to offer a reproduction of the 1885 rifle in both Low Wall and High Wall configurations. Our 1885 rifles are built from the highest quality raw materials sourced from suppliers in the U.S.A. The receivers are CNC machined from 8620 billet steel and then hand-finished to the highest level of quality. We feel that our 1885 Rifles are the best rifles of their type on the market today and are equal to the originals in every way.

The 1885 High Wall rifle was designed with a fully supported breach block giving it the strength to house the most powerful cartridges of its day as well as more modern high-pressure cartridges. The 1885 High Wall is a top choice for those wanting a sleek, accurate, and powerful single-shot rifle.
