BUY 1874 BERDAN SHARPS RIFLE 30″ .45-70 ONLINE. 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.
