THE SCHUETZEN RIFLE
This model is usually built to order as to stock style, caliber, barrel size, shape and length.
Available calibers include .22 Long Rifle, .25-20 Single Shot, .25 WCF, .25-21, 28-30
Stevens, .32-20, .32 Miller Short, .32-40, .33-40, 8.15X46R, .38-55, .40-65 Winchester and
many others. Generally, Douglas XX barrels are used, but Badger, Shilen and others are
available at extra charge. Barrels are normally up to 28" long, but are available up to 34"
long. Standard barrel sizes are #2 (1.00"), #2 1/2 (1.03"), #3 (1 1/16"), #4 (1 1/8"), and #5 (1
3/16") in part octagon or round. There is an extra charge for full octagon barrels, just as there
was in 1902. Barrels are low luster blued, and have polished muzzles to show grease
distribution. All barrels come drilled and tapped for Unertl/Fecker/Lyman scope bases with
the rear base near the frame, MVA scope bases, or for modified Weaver 63-B scope mount
bases for use with internal adjustment scopes. Schuetzen rifles come with either standard
scope bases or the Weaver style. A front sight slot can be provided at no extra charge for
3/8" or 7/16" sights. Front sights supplied by us can be fitted at no charge; there is a charge
for fitting customer sights.
There is a variety of stocks available in this model. The best offhand stock is the high comb
Pope Model (shown at top). This offers good support for your face when using telescopic
sights, and is copied from a typical original rifle. There is no question that this design adds
points to your score and makes shooting easier. The basic design is a Stevens factory version
of the radical Schoyen stocks in use after telescopes came into common use. This stock
normally uses a Schoyen plate, which is available with one- or two-prongs. The Stevens
Pope plate is also available, but the opening on this plate is rather small, so most people
choose the Schoyen 2-prong or 1-prong plate. The 1-prong plate is highly recommended for
shooters with large arms, and is superior for use in bench rest shooting.
Another stock style is the Model 52 Schuetzen Junior. This is also suitable for use with iron
sights and uses the more open #4 Schuetzen plate. This plate is steel with Stevens case
colors, duplicating the original. If you plan on bench shooting only, we recommend the
sporting stock, which offers a much straighter style with shotgun plate, or the special
benchrest stock without cheekpiece with bottom of stock parallel to comb. All stocks are
available in right or left hand style. The standard length of pull is 13 1/4". At no charge, this
length of pull can be altered to suit the customer’s request. Customers are specifically
cautioned about using long pull stocks, which are very undesirable for this style of shooting.
All rifles come with the standard factory 2-screw forearm. If requested, a blank fitted
forearm can be supplied, or a 3” wide forearm for bench shooting. Wood used on these
stocks is figured walnut. More highly figured wood is available at advanced prices, but the
standard grade is pleasing to most shooters.

Action Details
Actions for the Schuetzen rifles are supplied with either the ball and spur or Pope lever. Both
are very suitable for offhand use, or bench shooting for that matter. While the four finger
loop or plain lever can be used, these are not recommended for offhand use since there is no
place to locate the fingers when using an effective offhand position. Hammer spring tension
can be varied using an adjusting screw in the lower tang. The Stevens action can be used to
breech seat suitable bullets instead of using a mechanical breech seater. Only a case plugged
with brass, or wood, is required. The action can easily be taken down for carrying or barrel
switching. Only a screwdriver is required. Other barrels can be supplied, and rimfire/
centerfire breechblocks are available. Another extractor may be required.
Sights
With the Model 52 stock, original or reproduction tang and front sights can be used. The
high comb stock requires a common sight line for both glass and iron sights. This is most
effectively done by using either a tube sight or an adapter on the rear scope base for an
Anschutz or Redfield type rear sight. Front sight adapters are available to mount detachable
globe front sights. A tang sight may be used, but we recommend a mid- or long-range soule
sight and front sight adapter to allow a higher sight line.
For telescope sights, it is recommended to use an external adjusting scope of the Lyman,
Fecker, or Unertl style. These are readily available used, and on a limited basis new such the
Parsons Targetspot. Internal adjusting scopes can be used, but they are not period looking
and are far more expensive than their actual value. If the barrel on a CPA rifle is to be
removed or changed, it is a simple matter to remove a Lyman scope; if you have an internal
adjustment scope, it takes longer to remove the scope and the mount base must also be
removed.
THE SILHOUETTE/LONG RANGE RIFLE
Approved for Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (BPCR) competition by the NRA, the silhouette
rifle has either a sporting style stock with low comb (shown here) or the Model 52 style with
more drop, and is available in either right or left hand style. Wood used for the stock is
lightly figured walnut finished with a closed pore finish, or unfinished but fitted. The bottom
of the pistol grip has the classic "S" shape on the bottom of the pistol grip. The black rubber
buttplate is shotgun style to minimize recoil, and has the Stevens logo. Checkered steel
buttplates and Pachmayr recoil pads are available. The action normally has a ball and spur
(without wood insert) lever and double set triggers.
Standard barrels for silhouette rifles are either Douglas or Badger. Calibers available include
38-55, .40-65 Winchester, .45-70 and others. A popular option is a .22LR barrel for use in
practice or for indoor matches. The standard barrel is a #4 part octagon style which is 30"
long, weighing about 11 ½ pounds; longer barrels up to 34" long are available at no extra
charge. Other barrel weights and styles are available as described for the Schuetzen rifle – a
#3 size barrel will weigh about one pound less. A front sight slot is provided, as are tang
-2-
sight holes. The barrel normally is drilled and tapped for MVA scope bases or for target
scope bases to be used in testing loads; these holes can be omitted if desired. The rifle is
made to the NRA weight restriction, and meets all applicable rules.
The long range rifle is similar to the silhouette rifle, but can have a heavier barrel and
popular calibers include .45-70, .45-90, .45-100 and .45-110. If the gun will be used only for
long range, the sporting stock is best, which has a relatively high comb. If you anticipate
using the same rifle for both silhouette and long range, you will need to use the silhouette
stock, which meets the NRA’s comb height restrictions.
Sights
These rifles usually have a globe front sight fitted into a 3/8" front dovetail. This sight
should be typical of the period as specified in NRA rule 3.4. Likewise, the rear sight must
meet this rule, which does not permit the use of click adjustable windage or elevation. The
rear (tang) sight is attached to the top tang with 5-40 screws, which are factory standard, and
the hole spacing is also factory standard (1.485"). We stock a variety of sights, including
Montana Vintage Arms and Baldwin installed at no charge if purchased though us.
THE BENCHREST RIFLE
The Benchrest rifle has a buttstock with a high, straight comb and bottom line parallel to the
bore. It also has a wide, flat-bottomed forearm to keep the rifle steady on a rest. This rifle is
available in all of our standard chamberings, but the most popular calibers are .32-20 CPA,
.32-40, .38-55, .25-20 and .22LR. Barrels are typically 28” long and heavy weight: #4 or #5.
Barrels are drilled for scope bases and slotted for a front sight as requested. Stock through
bolts are available at an extra charge.
THE SPORTING/VARMINT RIFLE
The Sporting and Varmint rifles use a sporting style stock, which is similar to the stock used
on our silhouette rifles but with a higher comb. The sporting rifle (shown above) uses the
standard factory forearm with schnabel tip, while the varmint rifle (shown below) uses a
semi-beavertail forearm. These rifles are available in rimmed calibers, including .222, .225
Winchester, .22 Hornet and others. Standard barrels are round or part octagon in weights
from #1 to #5 and up to 28” long. Sighting options include tang sights, Weaver or Unertlstyle scope mounts and open front and barrel sights. Other options as described for the
-3-
Schuetzen and Silhouette rifles are also available.
We typically have a have a few rifles in stock – please contact us or visit our website at
www.singleshotrifles.com/specials.html if you are interested.
THE CPA ACTION
The CPA action is a copy of the Stevens 44½, the final action made during the high point of
the single shot rifle between the Civil War and the First World War. Less than 13,000 of
these rifles were made during the period of 1902 to 1916, and they were certainly the finest
of the factory single shot target rifles.
All our rifles are based on the same action, which has a pistol grip and double set triggers.
Straight grip actions are available by special order only. The frame, lower tang and lever are
typically case colored in the original ripple style Stevens colors. All actions have heattreated breechblocks with Mann-Niedner firing pins. All firing pins are now made from high
impact tool steel that is properly hardened; additionally, the firing pins are a snug fit in both
the breechblock at the rear and in the retaining bushing. All competition rifles are provided
with a special lightweight hammer with lower nose for cleaning rod and cartridge clearance.
This hammer reduces lock time by about 40%. The top tang is tapped 5-40 for original or
reproduction sights.
The frame, breechblock, hammer and lever are made from 8620 investment castings. These
parts are then fully machined for proper fit, and all but the lever are heat-treated. The frame
is also not heat treated, but has a tensile strength of about 90 KSI after case coloring. The
triggers, sear, lower tang, link and extractor are machined from solid tool steel and heat
treated as required. Pins are hardened and ground, and all screws are hardened. All working
parts are hardened for strength and wear resistance, so this action has a very long life
expectancy. In every part used, the material and heat treatment is superior to the original.
The finish provided on the parts is equivalent to the original action.
The frame is somewhat thicker than the original, being about 1 1/4" thick rather than the
original 44½ action's 1 1/8". This has allowed the use of somewhat larger barrel shank
threads. These are 15/16-16, the same as the Winchester high wall, and larger cartridges can
be used, up to the ability to load a case past the hammer.
The action is guaranteed to perform as stated without limit of time to the original owner. It is
guaranteed to be free of defects in workmanship and materials, and defective parts will be
replaced without charge, not including return shipping charges. The working and finish are
guaranteed to be suitable for the intended use. No claim is made as to special hand finishing
or detailed finishing atypical of the original actions. The actions are marked with the
company name and a serial number.

TERMS
When ordering a rifle, you will receive a confirmation showing total cost, together with all
the options and specifications. Please review this carefully and contact us with any changes.
A deposit of $300 (or more for unusual orders) is required to validate an order. Cancellation
of the order after work has started on the barrel or stock may forfeit the deposit.
You will be notified when the rifle is nearly ready for shipment. At that time, the balance of
payment is due, plus a signed FFL from your dealer. We accept checks, money orders, and
credit cards (which are charged upon shipment). Rifles are normally shipped UPS Ground,
but other options are available at extra charge. If you give us an email address, you will
receive an email upon shipment with scheduled delivery date and tracking number.
Due to circumstances that we cannot fully control, no delivery promise can be made, but
delivery is typically 3 –4 months for rifles with unfinished wood, and 4 – 6 months for rifles
with finished wood. Naturally, we like to get the rifles to you as soon as possible, since we
then get paid for them. As our backlog permits, we may occasionally build rifles in
anticipation of customer demand. If we have a rifle in stock or in-process which matches
your specifications, this may speed your delivery.
SHAPED AND INLETTED STOCKS
We manufacture stocks for single shot rifles, and have been making them for over thirty –
five years. In that time we have made almost 4000 buttstocks and/or forearms in a large
variety of patterns and wood species. As part of this product line we also supply matching
buttplates for most patterns. This product is guaranteed to be to specifications; if not, we will
either replace it or refund your money. In the case of customer wood being damaged, we will
replace the wood as well. Customer wood will be run complete without regard for any
defects. This warranty is the best in the business, although it does not cost us very much
since few stocks ever become a problem.
BUTTSTOCKS
The variety of our offerings covers just about all the common single shot rifles. In many
cases, all of the original patterns are offered. We do not make custom stocks to mysterious
styles that are not authentic to either the original period or the classic period of the 19301940s. If you want a Klingon death ray style stock for your single shot rifle, please pass us
by. Our buttstocks are fully shaped and are exact copies of the originals. Variations can be
made in length of pull or the addition of certain features: see the price list for details.
The buttplate area is machined for the proper plate or left uncut at no extra charge. Inletting
is 95% complete; completion varies somewhat according to the action and its inherent
variation. Stocks can be fitted by anyone with some experience. The inletting can be done by
us, but it is suggested that the purchaser do his own for reasons of economy. Finishing and
checkering are also available at prices that are reasonable for the amount and quality of the
work involved.
Where the original actions had drawbolts for securing the frame to the buttstock, we also
bore the holes for these bolts. For Ballard actions, the round section of the tang extension is
inletted. We have additional patterns available. These are for low volume styles such as the
Falling Block Works. Contact us for information on patterns that you are interested in. We
-5-
will also make new patterns as time permits, but only if such a pattern would be a reasonable
seller. We already have over 100 patterns in our collection. Checkering patterns are available
with stocks that were originally checkered and also for some that were checkered on special
order. Customer stocks can be used for patterns. There is a setup charge for this service.
There will generally be no damage to the original stock.
FOREARMS
Almost all single shot rifles had forearms, and we make them as complete as possible. All
forearms must have one or two holes in the factory position to hold them on the mandrel for
shaping. Do not ask for complete forearms without holes. We do not make original style
forearms for Ballard Pacifics or other key retained forearms. We can make shaped forearms
or forearms with barrel channels only at prices listed. Inletting for octagonal barrels in the
original sizes is typically within .010”. If you have a non-standard taper we will come as
close as possible. If you want a barrel to fit exactly with no inletting, we can make a special
pattern using your barreled action that will slip on the barrel.
Please realize that the forearms we make are to fit original barrels and actions. If you have a
replacement barrel that has a non-standard length or different length of octagonal section for
a part octagon barrel, you must let us know. Forearms will have the attaching holes in the
original factory position. If you are not sure of the factory location, please ask or be prepared
to drill an additional hole or two. We also have 8-32 screws 3/4", 7/8" or 1 1/4" long with
fitting brass escutcheons available. These are heat-treated screws with polished heads and
are suitable for the best work.
Winchester forearms are available with the ebony insert installed. Winchester forearms
without this feature are very strange looking. This ebony insert is not available for any other
style. Most forearms can be made with an ebony tip as was typical of some high-grade
Ballards and Borchardts.
To get the best fit for your barrel, measure the barrel size at the frame and at the forearm tip.
You may also need to confirm the forearm length and screw hole location if they are not
standard. You will probably have to do some fitting on your barrel channel unless you get a
glassed pattern made or match one our glassed channel patterns. Forearms are not inlet at the
rear for the frame but instead are left slightly long to ensure adequate wood for a good fit.
WOOD
We can use our wood or customer wood. Our wood is typically original type Eastern thick
shell American walnut or fancy tiger stripe maple. Other species are available; if you want
another type of wood, please ask. If you are very picky about figure, please send your own
wood or ask us to send our selection to you for approval before machining. If customer wood
has defects that make it unusable, the machining will still be charged for. All our wood is
from the USA and is the best quality that we can find.
Figured wood is expensive, but very fancy wood is not required for a handsome stock. Very
fancy wood for forearms is not desirable, as it is not stable and will cause problems. Forearm
wood is matched as well as possible, and in some cases, especially in oversize blanks, comes
from the same piece of wood. The various grades of wood are listed below. The grades are
difficult to describe exactly due to natural variation.
-6-
#1 - Plain straight grained, properly laid out, with no real figure. This wood is typical of original
lower grade rifle stocks.
#2 - Semi-Fancy, distinguished by some modest figure, at least on the right side.
#3 - Standard, figured in the butt area 30-50%, perhaps not equal on both sides. This grade is
standard on our rifles and suitable for any high-grade rifle. Best value in fancy wood.
#4 - Fancy, very good figure over 50-75% of the stock, typically some crotch grain or
exceptional color. Not as highly figured on the cheekpiece side or through wrist.
#5 - Extra Fancy, very fine figure on both sides, but not fully covering the butt area. Figure runs
farther forward on drawbolt rifles, as tang styles require straighter wood around the grip.
There will be color contrast, normally combined with heavy crotch grain or other fancy
elements.
#6 - Special, the best available and selected for the type of grain that you prefer. This is very
difficult to find, and is usually ordered for your particular job.
For stocks without a cheekpiece, two-inch thick wood can be used. Cheekpiece styles for
Winchesters require a full 2 ½ inches, while Stevens and Ballards can use wood 1/8" thinner.
Your wood should be 17" long and wide enough for the stock design. Shorter wood can be used
with a lengthening charge added. Forearm wood should be 2" square and 12" long. Larger wood
is fine; all wood is band sawed before use anyway.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Each stock and forearm is made only to order, one at a time. As a result, special features can be
added in most cases. Note, however, that it is not possible to make custom stocks using a
profiling machine. See below for special order features available. Additional information
including pictures, length of pull and drop is available for some stock patterns on our website at
www.singleshotrifles.com. Eventually we would like to have this information available online
for all stocks.
To place an order, specify grade of wood, pattern wanted, barrel shape (round, octagon, part
octagon with length of octagon section), barrel dimensions at frame and end of forearm, location
of screw hole for forearms, and any accessories or options wanted. When we receive your order
we will send you an acknowledgement, which will include all details and pricing confirmation.
Delivery time can be as short as one month, but varies on backlog status and workload.
All work is guaranteed to be to of good workmanship and to properly fit an original rifle. Stocks
will not fit your rifle without some handwork, since wood is left to account for variations. If
your action has been altered, as many of them have, you must let me know exactly how it varies
from the original or the guarantee is void. If you suspect that there has been an alteration, please
send sketches; do not guess - guesses can be expensive.

CUSTOMIZATION WORK
Since each stock is made to order, we can perform a variety of customization work at extra
charge to our customers. This work includes:






Change length of pull from standard within 3/4" limits
Higher comb height, not smoothly cut
Remove cheekpiece, not smoothly cut
Add cheekpiece outline, not shaped
Mount customer patterns for duplication
Other work can be done, within reason, as quoted
ORDERING STOCKS
To order stocks, please specify the pattern wanted and the grade of wood wanted. The total cost
of stocks is the cost of machining (which is on the right side of the pattern listing) plus the cost
of the wood (which is listed on Page 17).
When we receive the order, you will be sent a stock work order detailing the stock information,
including costs. We try to ship all stocks within a month of the order date, but this cannot be
guaranteed due to varying workloads of this and other products.
BARRELS
We can provide barrel blanks in a variety of sizes, including part and full octagon and round
contours. Most calibers are available and we can accommodate special orders, though they
do take more time.
For customers who want to shoot with more than one cartridge, we can provide additional
barrels complete with forearm to fit the CPA action. Interchanging the barrels is a simple
- 11 -
task for the shooter, and the cost is much less than buying two complete rifles. Due to our
heavy workload, we will not accept barrel fitting work except for CPA and Stevens rifles.
Please refer to the price list for a partial list of the barrels and fitting work that is available.
We are currently doing barrel fit work only for CPA and Stevens rifles.
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR SINGLE SHOT RIFLES
LEVERS
We have Pope, ball and spur, loop and plain levers available for Stevens rifles only. Lever
castings are available that can be welded onto original upper sections for Ballards and
Winchesters. Wood inserts for the ball and spur levers are available fitted but not finished.
BUTTPLATES
We have buttplate castings normally available as listed below. These are all investment cast
and quite smooth and easy to polish. The steel plates can be blued, plated, or color hardened.
Some are available already polished and colored. A few patterns are available in white
bronze.

PALM RESTS
The CPA palm rest is modeled on the original Stevens-Pope model often seen on Stevens
rifles. Stevens palm rests came in many different styles, and this one is copied from the palm
rest on a Stevens-Pope Model 49. The knob pivots forward to clear the lever, and is
adjustable for height and angle. The attaching hole locations are the same as for the most
common Pope styles, and the attaching screws come thru from the inside of the forearm,
making a neat and simple installation. The palm rest is completely machined and assembled,
ready to install on your rifle. It comes with instructions for installation and wood finishing.
The vertical parts are available blued or unfinished. The palm rest base and link are carefully
polished and nickel-plated (as were the originals) or case colored. Round knobs are available
in the traditional size of 2 ½”, or the more popular 3”. Schoyen knobs are oblong and shaped
to fit the hand of right- or left-handed shooters. Knobs are available sanded and with an oil
finish at additional cost. If you would like the wood to match an existing stock, please send
the forearm or a good photo; to match a new forearm, specify this on your order. We have
hundreds of knobs available in many kinds of woods. There is no charge for matching.
The entire palm rest in made in the USA; this is not unfinished foreign junk!
SIGHT ADAPTERS FOR SCHUETZEN RIFLES
Rear sight adapters are made for Redfield type rear micrometer mounts and for the Anschutz
rear sight. These are placed on the rear scope mount placed just ahead of the frame of the
rifle, and are available to mount on either cup style rear scope bases used by Lyman, Fecker
and most Unertl, or on the Posa style used by some Unertl and all Redfield scopes. They are
machined from solid steel and are low luster blued. The attaching screw turns on a set screw.
- 13 -
Redfield Sight Adapter
Anschutz Sight Adapter
The Redfield type is offset the correct distance to the left to accommodate the
“gallows arm” of the sight, and has five mounting holes to allow the sight to be
placed in the correct position fore and aft. The Anschutz type accommodates this
excellent sight in the center position, allowing it to be slid to the correct position.
Please specify if you need the old-style Anschutz adapter (rounded top), or the new
style (flat top). The line of sight of all these adapters is full scope height, giving a
common face position with your scope.
Front sight adapters allow a detachable sight to be mounted in a front dovetail. When
used with the rear sight adapters shown above, rear tube sight or long range tang
sight, you can achieve a good line of sight with a high comb stock. The front sight
adapter is designed to work with Redfield International and Olympic, Lyman 93
MJT, and any other sight of the same measurement. They are case colored to match
the CPA scope bases and include a set screw to lock it into place in the dovetail.
CPA scope bases are made in low height for either octagon
or round barrels. These are milled from solid stock and are
polished and color case hardened. They come with matching
hardened 6-48 screws, and are sold in sets of two with .860
and .562 hole spacing. The bases are cup style on one side
and Posa on the other, allowing them to fit most external
adjustment scopes.
We also have MVA scope bases and Weaver 63B bases, which allow you to mount a modern
internal adjustment scope. The Weaver bases are aluminum with a black matte finish and are
milled to provide clearance to extend over the receiver.
