Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Hunter .45-70 Rifle

If you've dreamed of owning a Sharps rifle and experiencing its legendary performance but let price stop you, that barrier has been removed. Renowned gunmaker Davide Pedersoli introduces the 1874 Sharps Hunter falling-block rifle, a version that delivers the reliability and accuracy you expect from an affordable rifle with fewer decorative frills. The pistol-grip stock is outfitted with a shotgun-style buttplate. This gun uses a double set trigger for precise accuracy. The blued, octagonal 30" barrel has a 1-in 18" rate of twist. It is chambered for the potent and popular .45-70 cartidge. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, and the rifle comes pre-drilled to accept an optional Creedmore-style sight (sold separately) should you choose to add one. Weigh: 10-1/2 lbs. Overall length: 46-3/4".

Great Quality and Value, May 13, 2009
By GLobo from Long Island, NY.

"It's no secret that anyone with the money can order and "wait" for a custom Sharps rifle to be built (Shiloh, Axtell, C-Sharps), however, without sacrificing fit, finish and more importantly quality, you can have this Pedersoli now. I've read up on all of the Sharps rifles and I finally decided that in the end...ordering an expensive rifle was just another way of showing off. Pedersoli has a earned their reputation for quality. This Pedersoli is a wonderful rifle. The fit and finish of the stock was impressive, the action is amazingly smooth and the construction is rock solid. The barrel has a durable parkerized finish. The rifle handled flawlessly with factory and reloaded ammo. The factory sights can take you easily out to 100 to 200 yards. It's also important to remember that buying an expensive rifle does not automatically mean you'll shoot well with it. Out of the box I experienced great results with this rifle. With practice and finding the optimal reload configuration I have no doubt that this rifle will be amazing. The rifle is also drilled + tapped for the tang sight of your choosing. It makes me smile to know that evertime I hit the target, I saved $2000-$3000 in the overall process. (I'd like to see a car insurance company do that..) I'm extremely pleased with my purchase."
