I'm familiar with the Rifleman's intro where it shows him walking while rapidly firing his rifle and then looking to the right into the camera as he reloads. But I seem to recall an intro where he slowly approached the camera while there was some build-up music. When he got close, he got down on one knee and started firing. I don't recall seeing that intro, however, for years. Does it exist or am I dreaming?

Wow, this must be a real mystery. I was sure someone would know it

I dont recall ever seeing that intro, but it probably happened.

Found this on youtube. Is this it?

It's a cool opening. It'd be nice if MeTV would actually play it in syndication.
