Description:
C. SHARPS MODEL 1875 "TARGET" .45-70 RIFLE. Made right here in Big Timber, Montana, these fine rifles come in several configurations. This one is the "Target" model with 30" heavy tapered round barrel, pistol grip and shotgun butt. All 1875s have light and crisp single triggers making them excellent target or hunting rifles. The 1875 was an experimental action made in the last years of the Sharps Rifle Company in the late 1870s-1881 when they went out of business. It was never put into production, but C. Sharps of Montana resurrected it and offered it beginning in the early 1980s. This one with serial number 75-3XXX is in about new condition and doesn't look to have been used. It has the C. Sharps markings along with the iconic OLD RELIABLE marking as found on late 1870s original Sharps. The wood is standard straight grain walnut with "SHARPS OLD RELIABLE" embossed butt plate. It has an empty front sight dovetail (a blade front sight is included loose) and no rear sight dovetail with the upper tang drilled and tapped for a tang sight. Blued barrel with case colored receiver and lever. Weighs approx. 11 1/4 lbs without sights. The 1875 is an extremely strong action great for black powder or smokeless loads. The catalog price on one like this is a little over $1920 with a build/wait time. Here's a way to enjoy a big U.S. made .45-70 Sharps without spending a fortune. Less expensive than most foreign made replicas! These shoot great.
