Re: wickliffe rifle
No I don't. But that's a sweet looking single shot!
And aparently there are some rifle kits floating around that are called wickliffe but aren't... you might want to check around before making a move.
Company was out of business for 28 years, and is now back I guess.

Re: wickliffe rifle
The Wickliffe Rifles were made by Triple S Development, of Wickliffe, OH, starting in 1976 for only a few years, if that.
There were several variations on the modified High Wall falling-block type action.
There were:
The Model 76 Standard (22' or 26" bbl, no sights),
the Model 76 Deluxe (22" .30-06 only, silver PG cap),
the Model 76 Commemoratives, 100 made (w/Silver Dollar inlaid in stock).
The Stinger (76) - 22" lightweight bbl, .22 Hornet or .223, and
the Stinger Deluxe (as Deluxe above).
The Traditionalist ( 24", .30-06 or .45-70)
The Kodiak Commemorative (26", .338 Win Mag) like the Deluxe, w/etched receiver.

Re: wickliffe rifle
They also made a 243 Winchester. I had one, and it shot very well. Tom.
