Well, its been a couple months since I dropped my pursuit of that Sharps 45-70 rifle. I been in a slump lately, but I havent forgot this one.
They say "good things come to those who wait", I think they are right.
I called the guy back today, just to see if he still had it , he did. When I talked to him befor , I couldnt get any conversation going, today he said "make me an offer", I did , we negotiated, I went and got my brand new(mfg in 1980) never fired Pedersoli Sharps 1874, Quigley, 45-70 rifle.
That is pure German silver on the forearm.
I think I got a fair deal , considering its never been fired and not the slightest blemish anywhere. $1100.00 OTD.(Cabelas and auctions are running $2000 and up)
I gotta get me a good venier adj rear sight set, and see what this thing can do LOOONNNG distance. 1000 yds + , with open sights? Everyone says it will hit man size target at 1200, with high energy, with 300 to 500 grain lead. :dizzy:
I been seeing this plaque on his wall , and found out it had been there collecting dust for at least 40 years.
Yes those are real bullets and not pictures (hard to see that in my pic), I just had to have it . I offered $25 he wanted $70.
We settled on $40. Im happy. One guy said it was a collectors item, dunno, duncare, I like it.
the 6.5mm 160 gr bullet is missing.... any help on this bullet will be appreciated.
anybody here have one, or even like these big ole buffalo guns.
