Anyone want some buffalo?!

I found this odd looking 13 pound monster leaning up against a tree in my yard. Figured I'd keep it.

Actually I got it off a good buddy. It's an 1874 Sharps Down Under from Taylor's and Co. I have wanted one of these for a few years and I tell you it is build like a TANK. I am dying to shoot it! It'll serve me well this spring in the Rockies. This rifle is so badass, it killed my truck's batteries!

Light 'er up, Quigley!

My God. That thing looks as if it calls eternal damnation to anything that dares stand before it. The fireball of its breath hath its creation from the hearth of hell itself. And the shooter must swear upon hippocrats himself that his constitution is of well-being to handle such fearsome recoil.

Sorry, was reading some Twain earlier. Very nice.

.45-70? or .50 Sharps?

It's not bad , that barrel tames it down pretty good .

Years ago I bought a "Quigley" 45/110 from Pedersoli. I couldn't be more pleased with the craftsmanship and performance. I'm fortunate enough to have a "Ballistics" friend who worked up a smokeless powder load rather than the original black powder, much cleaner. Best shot is a 26" steel target at 800 yards, vernier sight, took 5 attempts and a friend with a big spotting scope who helped me "walk" it in. The gun is beaqutiful, fun to shoot and a real attention getter. Good luck with yours.

real men shot 45/120

 

[Bertfish]

I have a Pedersoli Sharps Carbine in .45-70. That thing is a beast to shoot and the ammo is expensive, but man do I enjoy it

 

[AntiGun]

Nice.
I'll be getting to try my hand with a 45-70 on Thanksgiving day.
I've been told it's a beast which seems to be the prevailing opinion.

 

[hodgepodge]

VERY nice rifle!

Just remember.... This ain't Dodge City, and you ain't no Bill Hickok.

As long as you dont call me Ike Clanton were ok.

Green eyed I am!

DAMN that's a nice rifle OP! Guess they'd have laughed at us for thinking that today's bull barrels are heavy to lug around.

Enjoy!

 

[Indiana Jones]

Tell me about it! It's heavy as hell.

Buffalo (Syncerus caffer):

American Bison (Bison bison):

Beautiful rig, regardless.
