BUY 1874 SHARPS RIFLE 32″ .45-70 HARTFORD FOREND ONLINE. Best known as a buffalo-hunting gun, the Sharps sporting rifle became known as the “Old Reliable” by those who hunted buffalo for their hides. Among those associated with the rifles were Billy Dixon, Buffalo Bill Cody, Bat Masterson and others who used the big single-shot to maximum effect on the seemingly endless herds of buffalo.
Reproducing the Sharps at a reasonable price was a challenge for modern manufacturers because of its sliding breechblock and many angles and corners. These rifles capture the true craftsmanship and the nostalgia of the original design with modern manufacturing. All metal parts are CNC machined for precision performance and target grade accuracy. The color case finished receivers are mated to classic octagonal barrels. Walnut stocks are finished and fit by hand to each barreled action by craftsman for true custom rifle performance, appearance and quality. BUY 1874 SHARPS RIFLE 32″ .45-70 HARTFORD FOREND ONLINE
