Taylors and Company Sharps Business Rifle | .45-70 | 28-inch

The Taylors and Company Sharps Business Rifle is a lighter interpretation of the classic Sharps design built around a single-shot action. It features a 28-inch octagonal barrel and a traditional walnut stock with schnabel forend, offering a smaller overall weight for easier carry and handling. For optics, a versatile scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 pairs well with this rifle for accurate target use while staying well under $1,000.

This rifle is well suited to traditional long-range target shooting and historical/replica matches where authentic handling and straightforward, single-shot operation are valued.
