Chiappa 920.002 1874 Sharps | .45-70 | 32″ Octagon

The Chiappa 1874 Sharps 920.002 is a reproduction-style single-shot falling-block rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a 32″ octagon barrel. It pairs a color-case-hardened receiver with a blued octagon barrel and a hand-oiled, checkered walnut stock for a traditional look and feel. The rifle uses a double-set trigger and fitted sights for accurate open-sight shooting. For an optic under $1,000 that complements this rifle’s sight radius and shooting applications, consider a 3-9×40 hunting/field scope such as the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9×40 for a durable, clear option that keeps you below the price cap.
