the 12" (IIRC) Winchester 25-35 Model 1885 singleshot bull barrel rifle in the museum in Craig, Colorado. Short, handy package. I don't know the story behind this particular 1885, but wish I did. I'd love to know the reasoning behind short bullbarrel singleshot. It seems like it'd be handy for horseback packing. I'm guessing the bullbarrel was to put a bit more weight out front for steadying one's aim a bit.
