Colt-Sharps Single Shot Rifle in 7mm Rem Mag

Description:
Rare rifle... hit the many gun sites and search for a Colt-Sharps rifle and you'll see what I mean by rare. Something less than 500 were made... Of this very few were made in 7mm Remington magnum…  This  one with “Sharps Sporting Rifle” on the barrel may make it just before the Colt merger with Sharps around 1970…but the serial number CS 387 does indicate Colt Sharps. The October 1972 Gun Digest featured the rifle on the cover and has an article therein that may shed light, as well as a five page article in the previous year’s Gun Digest of 1971. This rifle is in great condition with two old and small blemishes in the metal…one on the underside near the stock (pictured) and one higher near where barrel meets the stock (also pictured). Small stuff!  Scope mounts are included with it. Put out in the 1970s, the rifle was ahead of its time. Modern, single shot rifles had not yet come into big popularity and the cost of the Colt-Sharps at something about four times the price of a Ruger #1 was a factor. Now it's a rare shootable collectible…when you can find one. You’ll find one occasionally in something like 22/250 caliber, good for shooting varmints and paper. Want a serious big game caliber in a rare rifle?? Here you are… and likely you’ll be the only hunter in town that has one. Shipping will be $50 insured in hard case to your FFL.
