There have been plenty of 'stinger' rounds through it too, but the barrel length is too short. Its still good out to 50yrds with a 1200FPS round nose. I put most of them through it myself lol.

It is fully functional and still kinda pretty. That would be for rabbit hunting, in the mid to late '60s in Port Jefferson, Long Island. I know the story of how I got it, and a little about when, why and where it was bought. I have cataloged and traced most of my inherited rifles besides this guy. If anyone can confirm or disprove any of this info, you help is greatly appreciated. The rifle was AKA 'The Roy Rogers' (Sears brand maybe?) The Model 49R Repeater is made in Germany. They also produced a 'Sears' marked rifle that was simular. The rifle was purpose built for Sears and was built in the Ithaca plant. The rifle ran '61-79, with other info pointing towards a cease production in 1973. Some people thought it was a different metal. He also stated that the reciever is aluminum. People say that it was a mid production change dark to light. However, I've found several other 'net nerds' who have said the same. I'm hoping there is and maybe he wasn't the right person to ask. Google found most of the following information for me.ДЄ person that was a proclaimed smith at Ithaca during the production of Model 49 Saddle Guns said there were no numbering schemes.
