Sharps?

[Randy M]

Been thinking of getting a Sharps rifle and really know nothing about them. I’m a dedicated handgun/revolver hunter and adding something like this seems like something I’d enjoy messing with. Any experience on here? Tips, brands, etc?

No help, but please post pics when you do.

Are you thinking about a Shiloh Sharps or a foreign made replica? Last I heard the former requires a very big wallet and several years wait. The latter ones may be a bit easier to find but also come with a nice price tag.

I've never owned one either but wanted one. A local school teacher was a National ranked shooter. Shooting black powder loads to 1000 yards! If I remember right, there was something like 48 feet of elevation to get you there

I’m thinking of starting with a replica.

Get you a C. Sharps or a Shilo

If you get a replica...get a pedersoli. I am on my second. I started with an IAB that was a POS. Both Pedersolis are nice shooters with a good tang sight. Like a scope, it will cost a fair amount also...mine was around $500 many years ago if i recall. Its graduated to probably go past 1000, but Ive never shot past about 5-600 (45-70) with them. The C Sharps and Shilohs are a nicer fit/finish, but of course there is a time wait and price tag to go with that.

I have one in the classifieds.
