Cimarron Pride of the Plains | .45-70 Govt | 30″ Octagon

The Cimarron Pride of the Plains is a faithful Sharps replica chambered in .45-70 Government and finished with attention to period detail. It pairs a coin-nickel receiver with a high-polished blued 30-inch octagon barrel and a hand-checkered pistol-grip stock featuring a Bridgeport-type Schnabel forearm. The rifle ships with Creedmoor rear sight and a tunnel front sight with inserts for precise iron-sight alignment. For optics under $1,000, the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 is a practical match that maintains the rifle’s long-range capability without overshadowing the piece’s historical character.
