Default Two Henry pope rifles

First pic are of a Remington-Hepburn action, barreled and built by Harry Pope. In 28-30-120, purchased by Charles Spenser Squires my great grandfather from the builder Harry Pope in 1911.

Second pics are of a 32-40. Winchester model 1885 high wall. Schutzen Rifle. Built by Harry Pope. Also purchased by my great grandfather.

I also have a x14 scope with what I believe to be serial number 701 and my great grandfather’s shooting box along accessories.

I know the rifles have been refinished once in 1994. I have had them since my grandfather’s passing in 1994. I am looking for more info on them and value of the along with the scope. Thank you

Don't know the rifles, but the old Gun Digest Annuals used to have Pope stories. Always fascinating. Great pieces of history.

Mr. Pope was an interesting guy in his pursuit of the perfect target rifle, and cartridge, the .32/40 being his favorite. I can only make a guess at value, but can say either one of those rifles with accessories would be in the $4K range.
This is just my opinion, and no disrespect intended, you would be an absolute fool to sell either one.
Two reasons, one a family heirloom/legacy. Two, kept clean and sitting in a safe, they will probably be worth more next year than any stock or bond you've invested in.
Research Pope and his rifles, it'll give you better appreciation for what you have.

Thank you for the info. They are family heirlooms but I don’t really have any attachment to them. So I am thinking they will be looking for new homes

I still have an ancient Gun Digest of my dad’s with a great layout on gunsmith George Schoyen who made Schutzenfest rifles with pictures of him in his Denver shop and closeups of his work.
These rifles pictured here are beautiful.
