Tip Up Rifles

Series of rifles produced by Stevens beginning in 1870s through 1895. There are a number of variations, but are all quite similar in appearance. They feature a distinctive sloped frame made of iron and nickel-plated. Most frames are similar in size, but there is a slightly lighter frame used on "Ladies Model" rifles. These Tip Up rifles are chambered for various calibers from .22 rimfire to .44 centerfire cartridges. Offered barrel lengths of 24", 26", 28" or 30". Actions are nickel-plated, as well as trigger guards and buttplates. Barrels blued, and two-piece stocks are of walnut. Offered with various buttplates and sights. A shotgun version is also offered.
