Condor Posted March 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) So I saw this ad for a buffalo gun and thought it was made in Buffalo NY, my birthplace, and bought it. This is what I found when I opened the box..... http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt125/lonehawk_2009/sharps/916781ab-e8a6-4e6b-ae93-35d46b6c9843_zpsmkbalsy9.jpg Pedersoli/Sharps 1874 45-70....

Sylvester Posted March 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2017 Quigley down under. Beautiful rifle. I have a modern .45-70 (Marlin) but I can't shoot it due to arthritis in my shoulder. Took many deer with this beast in the past. So I saw this ad for a buffalo gun and thought it was made in Buffalo NY, my birthplace, and bought it.

Condor Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Quigley down under. Beautiful rifle. I have a modern .45-70 (Marlin) but I can't shoot it due to arthritis in my shoulder. Took many deer with this beast in the past. I am thinking about picking up a Henry 45-70 Lever. They run a little more than the Marlin 1895, but I don't own a Henry... :-) Nice. It is not a replica is it. Sadly it's a replica...sorta. Couldn't afford a real Sharps anyway. The Pedersoli are a high grade copy, and not cheap in their own right. I was looking for a 50-90, but ran acrossed this one and couldn't say no. Used they sell in the $1600-$1800 range. I picked this one up for $1000 cash and it came with about $600 worth of black powder components. So I got a screaming deal, and are a happy camper. Thinking about shooting Cowboy Long Range events with it. http://www.cast-aways.com/CONDORPICS/Sam-Side.jpg Edited March 20, 2017 by Condor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted March 20, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 20, 2017 Still a nice gun. I have a few that I have a good deal invested in and would not part with them and one is a 22 cal. custom built on a Rem. 37 action and weighs less than 7 LB. with scope.

Those 37 Rangemasters were tack drivers. Nice gun. I don't even want to think about how much I've vested in guns over the years. Need to buy another safe. The three I have now are stuffed....

slowrollwv Posted March 20, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 20, 2017 I had the 22 built when I was shooting bench rest comp. I had three guns 7.5 lb Rem. 10.5 lb Anschutz, and 13.5 Rem. I was ranked 23 in the country for a couple years until I retired from comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted March 21, 2017 I had the 22 built when I was shooting bench rest comp. I had three guns 7.5 lb Rem. 10.5 lb Anschutz, and 13.5 Rem. I was ranked 23 in the country for a couple years until I retired from comp. WOW!! Nice shooting. You da man!! I never got into punching paper..more breaking clays, ducks, doves, pheasant, and deer in mainly that order. The last year I registered only 5000 birds in ATA and PITA. Wish I had just a nickle for every round I blew out the end of a trap gun. I figure I ran the value of a house out the end of a barrel over a 10 year period. Lots of patches and belt buckles, but nothing to brag about. I now own a trap gun for the first time in 40 years. Bought it 'just because'... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted March 21, 2017 Share #12 Posted March 21, 2017 Yes I know that feeling. We were traveling three weekends a month and on the forth we shot at our home club. Practice three days a week and then the state, regional and nationals. That added to about 10 cases a year and another three our four cases for practice. The last ammo I bought was $1,400.00 a case.
