Shiloh Sharps 45-90

[jeff]

Love that rifle, but dies for reloading are hard to find!

@jeff Ya, don't see too many boxes of 45-90 at the local gunshop. I'll throw in a new 3 die set of RCBS for reloading to the buyer........Bill

I'll help you spend your money on a very fine rifle.
@flatwater bill has already sweetened the pot with RCBS dies.

Graf and Sons has Redding dies and Lee Factory Crimp Die, and Midway USA has Starline Brass.

Go ahead and buy it and post some Bison hunt pictures.

Bump for a nice Sharps and a good seller. I bought the safe mate to this gun. If not for having more hunts in the works, I would have bought this one too.

I have 3 Shilo Sharps 45-120, 45-70, 50-110
Shot 3 Bison with them on WY ranch and one free range in Kansas in 1970

quigley rifle match is next weekend in MT. if you hurry and buy, load ammo, and go have fun shooting the 32nd annual quigley.. i leave on monday to the match..

biggergun-good luck at the match. My neighbor isn't going this year. He finished second the first time he shot it around 10 years ago and won it the next year!

@biggergun Ya, that match is June 15 this year. I always planned to go, but then life got in the way. I see that some use model 86's and some Rollingblocks, quite a few use Win Hi and Lows.....but the match was really started for the Sharps Model 74. In fact, the term sharpshooter, and the military ribbon of the same name, was derived from men using the Sharps rifle. Although I own one Purdey shotgun, the fit and finish on this listed Shiloh is every bit as good as that. I think I will drive up there and see if I can generate a little interest in my rifle. Don't think shooting is on the agenda for me....I have had my successes in past competitions, but the calendar has turned too many times. Thanks for the heads up....and @sestoppelman you never know when (if) that Quigley will arrive.....should buy this one just in case................FWB

@flatwater bill Still available by chance?

 

[flatwater bill]

@Swag Yes, thanks for asking. Put it away after a couple of weeks of not selling, and forgot about it............FWB

A guy could always cut and recrown the barrel and then call it a mid bore stalking rifle

 

[flatwater bill]

Cutting the bbl on a Shiloh is punishable by 5 years of supervised parole, or one night with Kamala.......FWB

I laughed so hard I spit out my coffee!

I would never cut the barrel on a fine bespoke rifle like this Shiloh Sharps.

Lifetime parole versus a night with the Cackling "Mamala"!

Do you still have the 45-90

 

[sestoppelman]

Rear sight looks identical to the one that just arrived on my Quigley after over 3 years. Its an MVA, Montana Vintage Arms.

Rifle is sold. I bought this rifle from FWB for my son’s 18th Bday last Winter. He will finally get to shoot it next week.

I’ve had three M1874s. A Shiloh Sharps in 45-70, a C Sharps in 45-110 and an original M74 in 44-90. They will shoot lights out with good loads, good sights and some dedicated practice. I was on the scope calling shots for a friend shooting his Shiloh Sharps 45-70 one morning. He was shooting a 3 shot group at 300 yards to check a load. It was kind of cool and humid and I could see the vapor cloud around each bullet as it dove into the target. Group size was .30”

You and your son will enjoy shooting it!
