Description: Holland and Holland Rook Rifle .295 Rook

HAMMERLESS, ENGRAVED

General Specs: Holland & Holland, Year 1892 approx, .295 H&H, 5lbs 10oz, Rifle

Serial Number: 13589

Holland & Holland made the “ROOK RIFLE” in fairly large numbers (around 5000 or so) for the purpose of hunting small game and killing rooks, a crow-like bird native to Great Britain and at time quite a pest of a bird. They made several versions of these fine little rifles, some with hammers, some without. This is the most refined of the bunch with the rounded action, hammerless design, finely figured English walnut, nicely checkered, engraved with fine English scroll, including the grip cap and steel butt plate. There is even nice engraving as a band around the breech of the barrel and all of the screws are nicely engraved as well. This gun has been restored and nicely done. The wood is sound, the screws are excellent, and the 26” barrel has strong rifling and light frosting throughout. Ammunition is difficult to find, but can be handloaded, as there is information for such all over the internet. These Holland Rook rifles are Holland & Holland classics. There are few found that have not been restored or modified in some way, and this gun is no exception. Still a gorgeous example of one of Holland’s oddities from the turn of the century. When the .22LR came along, the popularity of the Rook rifle took a tumble, so few were made after 1910. This gun is priced low to allow a buyer to put a nice Holland & Holland into their collection that does not mind a few flaws, the most notable being the sleeving of the last 6 ½” of the barrel that was done so well I did not notice it for almost a week. See photo #20 and #21. The rifling, bore diameter and finish all matches up to perfection and should not affect the accuracy of the rifle and, as noted, it is not very visible either. The rifle is a great looking little H & H that would be a lot of fun to shoot. Thanks for looking!
