The Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Hunter .22 Hornet rifle (brand part no. 534293206) revives John Browning’s falling-block single-shot design for shooters who want a classic-profile varmint rifle with a full octagon barrel. Winchester polishes the blued steel receiver and 24-inch octagon barrel to a high shine and pairs them with a high-grade walnut stock, drilled and tapped for a scope mount for shooters who want optics on a traditional platform. The falling-block action drops the breechblock straight down for loading, giving a strong, simple lockup that has stayed in production since the 19th century. Adjustable sights come standard for shooters who prefer iron sights over glass. Among falling-block single-shots in the single shot rifles category, this .22 Hornet is built for varmint hunters who want classic lines with modern accuracy.
