Best known as a buffalo-hunting gun the Sharps sporting rifle became known as the Old Reliable by those who hunted buffalo for their hides. Among those associated with the rifles were Billy Dixon Buffalo Bill Cody Bat Masterson and others who used the big single-shot to maximum effect on the seemingly endless herds of buffalo. Reproducing the Sharps at a reasonable price was a challenge for modern manufacturers because of its sliding breechblock and many angles and corners. These rifles capture the true craftsmanship and the nostalgia of the original design with modern manufacturing. All metal parts are CNC machined for precision performance and target grade accuracy. The color case finished receivers are mated to classic octagonal barrels. Walnut stocks are finished and fit by hand to each barreled action by craftsman for true custom rifle performance appearance and quality. Most of the models come predrilled and tapped at 2 1/4 to accept the Creedmoor sights. Taylor's & Co. is proud to offer the colorful high quality 1874 Sporting Rifle in a variety of barrel lengths and calibers for hunting and target shooting. Our sporting and business models feature octagonal barrels flared at the receiver and double set triggers. The infantry Berdan Cavalry models feature round barrels and single triggers. - Action Type Single shot - Barrel Bore Diameter 0.450 - Barrel Contour Octagonal - Barrel Finish Blued steel - Barrel Grooves 6 - Barrel Length (in) 32 - Barrel Twist & Rotation RH 1x18 - Buttplate/Pad Casehardened steel - Caliber .45-70 - Capacity 1 - Drilled & Tapped On upper tang for rear sight - Firing Pin Type Traditional - Front Sight Dovetail blade - Forend Finish Checkered walnut - Frame Finish Casehardened steel - Hand Dominance RH - Overall Length (in) 49 - Rear Sight Dovetail ladder sight - Stock Finish Checkered walnut - Taylor Tuning Option Taylor tuning not available - Trigger Type & Pull Double set trigger - Triggerguard Finish Casehardened steel
