Pedersoli | Sharps 1874 BOSS | .45-70 | 34in Blued/Walnut

The Pedersoli Sharps 1874 BOSS is a falling-block sporting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a 34″ blued barrel and a walnut stock. It pairs traditional Sharps styling with modern manufacturing for reliable single-shot performance. This configuration includes iron sights and checkered walnut for a classic handling experience. A quality scope that fits the rifle’s long-barrel profile while remaining under $1,000 is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44, which balances magnification and light-gathering for the cartridge’s typical engagement ranges.
