Not many Malcom scopes around
Farrow's book "How I Became a Crack Shot" is worth a read. I'm pretty sure you can find it online for free as a pdf. He was definitely a "crack shot" but probably had the biggest ego of anyone you'd ever meet based on his book.
I've never seen a Farrow rifle in person. Pretty cool!

I don't believe there were many Farrow rifles made and this one has had a lot of work done on it over the years, one of the cool things about this one is that there is a score book with it that starts on March 14th 1894 and on December 1889 he refered to the gun as a Farrow Stevens so i gather this is when the barrel was changed
The last match recorded in the book is Feb 25 1900
The owner was from Perry Sound Ontario and a lot of the matches he shows were shoot in Toronto. Does make a interesting story.
I have another Farrow rifle that was made for a reproduction action in 38 55. I will post some picture of it as it is nice
I have a soft spot for single shot rifles also with around 50 in my collection

John, the fact that it came with a score book is really cool!
Do you have the shooters name by any chance? I have a Winchester 1885 done by Zischang and it came with a list of previous owners. At some time I'll try to dig into the list to see how far back it goes.
