I'm considering selling my Lone Star Rifle RB but I have no idea of the value .
I got this for hunting here in NY so it's in 45-70 .Not fancy, a 28" octagon barrel, simple Patridge sights, nice but fairly plain stock.It's taken a few deer and premium factory ammo gets at least 1" so I stopped there.Sweet catridge ,300 gr premiums will do fine for deer. .Though 9 lbs the heavy octagon barrel puts the weight well forward so a bipod is suggested .
Not shooting as much these days getting old and worn out ,still fighting Lyme.I have my 1885 Browning so I thought someone might get more use of the RB. It needs a good home !

Mete: I can identify with "getting old and worn out" but not the Lyme. Sorry to hear you are fighting this thing.
Wish I could help you on the value of your Lone Star RB. I would think the value would have risen some after Dave Higginbotham's untimely death. He built a fine rifle.
You might wander over to the Sharps forum to see if you can get an e-mail or PM to Mike Venturino. He posts there as MLV.

I think there is another Higginbotham rifle for sale at the ASSRA.

You might check out this 50-90

Wow, a 50/90 too. Nice piece, for sure.

They are typically selling for $2,000 to $3,000 for rifles as you describe. Ken the rolling block guy in Nevada has/had one like that for sale on the ASSRA page except in .50-70 that I believe he is/was asking $2,400 for.

If you come up with a price, I am interested. PM me.

A little off topic but Dave was a good friend and would spot for me at Raton for the Nationals for many years. I am a Ballard guy but he forgave me. He and Katha were two of the most honest and sincere people my wife and I know. I miss him. He was an original. You have a really superbly crafted rifle if his name is on it an, yes, MLV shot one of his rifles at matches for years.

My hunting days are almost over and it needs a home.
