The Scope is 8X, the old 22 WCF was the basis of the 22 H.

Sedgley was in business from the 20s until the late 40s. They were known for sporterizing Springfield rifles. During the war they also made barrels for the 03 Springfield most notably for the USMC.

Sedgley converted Ballards, Winchester Low Walls and 03 Springfields into 22H. I even had a Colt New Service Revolver that was made into a 22 Hornet. The quality of Sedgleys ranged from excellent on a par with the best to tool room or very rough quality. Sedgleys are now starting to catch the eye of collectors..finally...I also had a Low Wall in 22H by Sedgley. I wound up selling it to a guy in Phili and thought geeez I have someone who wants this stuff why don't I sell him the Sedgley Colt in 22H. While I made a very small profit on the Low Wall I doubled my money on the Sedgely Colt.

Bothe Griffin & Howe and Sedgley would do anything from just rechambering and putting a new magazine housing to accomdate the 22H to full blown custom rifles. Generally a full blown Griffin & Howe 22H custom is going to cost $5000 + while a Sedgley will now cost about $3500. A Sedgely full blown conversion in 22H is for sale at the upcoming Rock Island Auction (April 29).

Currently I have 2 custom Sedgleys one in 30/06 and the other in 22H. The 06 is especially nice.
