Taylor’s 1874 Sliding Breechblock .45-70 Gov 32″, Walnut

Description

Best known as a buffalo-hunting gun, the Sharps sporting rifle became known as “Old Reliable” by those who hunted buffalo for their hides. Among those associated with the rifles were buffalo Bill Cody, and Bat Masterson to name a few who used the big single-shot to maximum effect on the seemingly endless herds of buffalo. Now Taylor’s & Company is proud to offer the colorful, high-quality 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle featuring walnut stock, Schnabel forend, 32″ octagonal barrel, and case hardened receiver for hunting and target shooting.Category : RiflesAction : Sliding BreechblockCaliber : 45-70 GovernmentBarrel Length : 32.0″Capacity : 1Trigger : Double SetOAL : 49″Weight : 10.6 lbsStock Description : WalnutMetal Finish : Blued Barrel/Case Hardened Receiver
