Selling Two Very Different Rifles

[flatwater bill]

The first is a Shiloh Sharps model 74 Long Range Express. It is a .45-2 1/10. That is a 45-70 for you non-buffalo hunters. 30" half octagonal bbl. Upgraded wood, pewter for-end, steel butt plate, spirit level front sight for inserts, wt 11# 9oz. This is a Big Timber rifle. They are the best. $3250.... $120 shipping (unless FTF) I see that the wait period for these rifles is growing, and that the sights ( the rear sight alone cost $535 many years ago) are out of stock, and have been forever. This rifle has been test fired only.
The Second is a Ruger 77 Mk 11 stainless 25-06 with laminate stock and 26" bbl. It has been fired exactly 20 times. I bought it for an antelope hunt.....and could never draw a tag. It has not been hunted with. Comes with the factory rings. $1000 plus $100 shipping. I see a few of these on GB for $999 low to $1600 high, and none of them in this caliber, many in varmint calibers that are easily shot out. I could not find any marks on either rifle, and they appear as new to me, but will send pics and you may judge for yourself if interest..........FWB

Hey, just a self serving note that may also help others plan. I had two rifles for sale in this ad......one a Shiloh Sharps that sold to @Green Chile ............I just got this rifle shipped today. The total cost of shipping/packaging and insurance was $238.22. And this was without any local dealer fee. I hope this helps some of you plan a bit. Shipping has gone up. This included a cheap Plano hard case for $37. So when someone says $100 to ship, don't be surprised or offended. Now, the 25-06 in this ad is still available, despite the hundreds of you that called and PM'd me. (Ok, no one called) But it is a mint rifle and I'm dropping the price to $900. Shipping stays at $100, (and that will not nearly cover it).......and as always, I'm happy to trade for a hog hunt or a Lear Jet.........good shooting.......FWB

I got the Sharps this morning and it's in great shape as advertised. Great experience with FWB.

Someone needs this 25-06...great deer and antelope rifle.
