That's a great looking setup. I'm torn over putting a scope on it. I really like the look of the period correct looking scopes but may see how well I can shoot with open sights. Are you shooting BP or smokeless?Hey baby, you looking for me?
Shiloh Sharps in 40-90 SS straight & a Hilux Wllm Malcom 6x scope.
386 grains of lead at a blistering 1600 fps. It'll do donkey. It'll do.

That#3 looks like what you want. The sights alone are probably over $500.00 in value. The wood looks like an upgrade to semi-fancy and a shotgun butt is good for prone shooting.
It does but I think I need to hold a few before taking the plunge. I'm sure that one would be fine, I'm probably over thinking itThat#3 looks like what you want.

Sigh, I didn't need to know this.If you have a Cabela's card, Mondays this month guns are 10% off
everything else is 15%. the other day Active Junky rebate was an additional 12% though that changes often and usually only a 1% for guns.Sigh, I didn't need to know this.
Looking into buying an 1874 Sharps. I plan on picking up an elk rifle tag next year, and the thought of using a single shot, open sight rifle in a big slow dumb caliber has piqued my interest. What's a good option/ brand for someone wanting one for what few more rifle hunts I have in me, and a lot of shooting at the range? There's a lot of options out there, not sure what's what. Budget isn't unlimited, but I have some leeway thanks to my ex wife's new husband/ alimony killer
The only Shiloh dealer I know of is Bill Goodman from Bozeman, Mt. his site is shiloh-ballard.com His site explains the process and you can get ahead of others as Bill does orders around 20 at a time so he usually has some spots available that should go into production in the near future. Check his web site out he also has a photo's of originals also.You won't be disappointed. Never. But it takes a long time. That said, there are ways to cut to the head of the line, or go buy a used one. @Dan O will know how to jump to the head of the line. But get after it. You know how Mr. Newburg feels about waiting around "'til later".
I can help with the rear sight. There are a couple of considerations. You will actually need 2. A 1000 yds sight is not a good hunting sight, and vice versa.
Well, where are ya? We could probably find a match for you to drop in on. There's always a Shiloh around.
Amazing pics, thanks for sharing. How many originals do you own?Nothing increases the fun of hunting than a vintage rifle. I have several Sharps rifles, both newer Shilohs and originals. They are capable of taking all sorts of game…
