SHARPS BORCHARDT .45-70 CUSTOM TARGET RIFLE WITH RARE SET TRIGGER, #17806.

Description:

SHARPS BORCHARDT .45-70 CUSTOM TARGET RIFLE WITH RARE SET TRIGGER, #17XXX. The receiver on this one retains fine Sharps markings and has an octagon receiver ring which leads me to believe it is a commercial action- the more common custom rifles built on military Borchardt actions have round receiver rings. Also, this one has the rare set trigger design unique to the Borchardt. The receiver shows full blue and the set trigger works correctly. The stock has a pistol grip with schnable bottom and is checkered. The shotgun butt plate is the hard rubber style with the SRCo logo in the middle. The forearm has matching fairly fancy checkering with schnable tip. The unmarked half octagon barrel measures approx. 32 ½” and has a recessed target crown. It is fitted with a long range Soule tang sight and a globe front sight that will take inserts. Action is tight and the bore appears perfect. Weighs just under 11 lbs.  Aside from a very few minor handling marks in the wood, this one appears little used. A truly beautiful and very high quality Sharps.
