Just picked up a Shiloh Sharps 45-70 to give to a client for Christmas. Hand made here in Montana - beautiful fit and finish. Up to a two wait list for this rifle (but I know a guy ;)). This is an upgraded 1874 model - like the one from "Quigley Down Under." I think the rifle in the film was a 45-110 though. I got to shoot one of these a couple of years ago. Very fun and nice shooting rifle. As far as optics, I'm getting the rear vernier sight and companion front sight this week - hopefully. Wish I could afford one of these for myself.

I like the 45-110 better. Almost bought a Pedersolit model last year… still kicking myself for not getting it...

For once, I'm with Dan on the 45-110 in the Sharps. I might change my mind after shooting one from prone, but I bet it would be a blast (get it, "blast") off of shooting sticks.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |
