Browning 1885 Low Wall Hornet Article
Whilst going through some gun room magazines yesterday, I came across one I forgot I had in the stack and thought some here may find it interesting.
Published by Rifle Magazine, their "Varmint Rifles and Cartridges" comes out every year and this issue featured the sweet little Browning 1885 Low Wall in 22 Hornet. This issue is from Spring 2018, but it's probably still about in places. The article itself does not cover anything new for folks who hang out here, but does give some Hornet loads tested in the rifle and a general description of same. As can be seen on the cover, there's some other pieces in this issue with a bit more depth. Twist rates for the 204 Ruger and a nice piece on the 17AH being some of them. As we are all aware, only accurate rifles are interesting, and the example of this little beauty resting in my safe is truly 'interesting'.

That issue is available through Wolfe Publishing company, cost $10.00 plus shipping. My copy is on the way .
Is it written by Stan Trzoniec? hope not. When it comes to writing articles I always thought that Stan was the best photographer out there, he is good with a camera but he sure seems like a cheapskate with how much shooting he's willing to do in his tests. On further exam I see that it is but it's not a deal breaker cause having just bought the rifle I just gotta have the magazine. Thanks for the heads-up Rick, now where is Mr. Screaminweasil?

I am thinking that I need to branch out from the Ruger No. 1 to a High Wall/Low Wall

Danny, I’ve beeb saying just admire the ones in the photos and that’s good enough but I’m not sure how much longer I can hold off lol
Seriously my son started a browning collection all with higher end wood. I’d enjoy seeing one in his collection more than mine...

I resisted as long as I could, always admired John Moses Browning. I can now see why these low walls are so popular, they look good and shoot. My Winchester 22 Mag low wall is still in the process of finding a favorite ammo. So far it likes CCI 40GR TMJ the best. Has anyone tried a 50GR load in their low wall? The Browning 22 Hornet and 223 were very accurate right out of the box with my pet loads. I know rimfires are a different animal but trying different loads is half or more of the fun!
