Pedersoli Sharps 1874 Cavalry | 45-70 | 22 in

The Pedersoli Sharps 1874 Cavalry carbine is a faithful sporting reproduction of the historic falling-block single-shot rifle. It is chambered in 45-70 Government with a 22 inch blued barrel and a walnut stock, and it pairs period aesthetics with modern manufacturing quality. The rifle’s falling block action and iron sights make it well suited for disciplined single-shot shooting. For an optic under $1,000 that complements this platform, consider a mid-power riflescope such as the Vortex Viper HS-T 2-10×44 for moderate-range accuracy while retaining period sight options.
