Remington Hepburn

Post by marlinman93 »

My collection of Hepburn rifles just grew by one more yesterday when another arrived via the brown truck. A Hepburn in a rare .45 2 7/8" showed up on another site and I was lucky to see it first and grab it. The .45 2 7/8" is also referred to as the .45-110 Sharps, and was a powerful cartridge during the Buffalo hunting days. Not many Hepburns got chambered in this cartridge, so finding even one is pretty unusual.
The full octagon barrel is an very heavy profile at 30" length and the Hepburn weighs about 14 lbs. It came with a Lyman tang sight, but otherwise fairly standard configuration. Bore on this one is like new and should be a great shooter once I can dig up some brass!

Congrats on the find! That Hepburn looks pretty clean for it's age.

Hi There,

Congratulations on your recent acquisition! It looks really nice.

The only criticism I have is the blurry pics.

Cheers!

Sorry. My picture taking always seems to be lacking. Fortunately the Hepburn is nicer than my photography!

Thanks.
My pocket Canon Power Shot has little illuminated boxes that supposedly focus when I push the shutter button halfway down to tell me it's focused. But for whatever reason I can still mess it up.
