1863 Sharps Sporting Rifle Percussion 32" .54

The Sharps sporting rifle became known as the "Old Reliable" by those who hunted buffalo for their hides.  Reproducing the Sharps models at a reasonable price was a challenge for modern manufacturers because of its sliding breech-block and large, angular receiver.  This challenge has been met and Taylor's is able to offer a wide variety of the most popular Sharps models for hunting and target shooting. If you are looking for a faithful, strong, practical lifetime companion these models are for you.  Among all of the Sharps models you will find the SPORTING model with octagonal blued barrel, adjustable front sight and double set trigger. For all models we have used the best materials and latest techniques, so to ensure a top quality product. The most important parts are machined from forged metals for maximum durability and strength and the deep rifling is broached and ensures excellent results in long distance shooting. All the models are drilled and tapped to install the Creedmoor sights and the front tunnel sights with interchangeable inserts, except for the military models. Among the paper cartridge Sharps rifles you can find the Sporting model with octagonal barrel, adjustable front sight and double set trigger. All the models are equipped with graduated rear sight with sliding plate.
