Re: Remington #3 Hepburn
I'm sorry for your loss.
I don't know much about the Hepburns yet and I don't know what information you are after, but you may do well to post some specific questions on the ASSRS forum if you haven't already: http://www.assra.com/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb.pl
But I do know that is a beautiful rifle and you are blessed to have one in such fine condition. Those colors are awesome. Most Hepburns I see have lost most or all of their colors. Don't be selling it at a garage sale, now
That sucker's worth some $$$
I just started collecting single shots and got a Hepburn last summer in much poorer condition, but I love it. It has a relined barrel in 38-55 and shoots great. I also just picked up a Ballard Pacific in 45-70. Both are "shooter" grade but still have plenty of life left in them.
Good luck and I hope you get that rifle to the range.
