Ballard #6 Schutzen; 32-40 at 400 yards

I messed up on the Souther scope. FH Souther was in Massachusetts, not Philadelphia. Sidle was the maker in Philly.

Amazing Ballard, barrel and scope combination, not to mention the shooting ! Thanks so much for posting.

Thanks for taking a look. Everything Vall brings is impressive. It gets even more so when he on the firing line.

Thanks to a bunch of folks in Montana, this Arizona boy just picked up his first Ballard. A No. 2 in .32 Long with an incredible bore. Gonna figure out how to play this one off very carefully!

That gun is a working piece of art and history. Not much recoil but then it is a 16 pound rifle. Not sure I would want to fire it in a off hand match either. Probably wouldn't last too long. Thank you for bringing this one to light. Anything with Schoyen on it can't be all bad...

Very cool and looks like a lot of fun!

I'm still grinning.

Someone needs to make a Ballard Repro. I only need a Ballard and a Hepburn and I'll have my single shot collection complete.

Beautiful rifle You need to show the target you are shooting at and the impact of the shot

Beautiful gun. Vall.

.32-40 is one you don't see that often these days.

Do you ever shoot black powder loads in this rifle?
