Cimarron 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle | .45-70 | 32″

The Cimarron 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle is a reproduction of the historic 1874 design chambered in .45-70 Government with a 32″ octagon barrel and case-colored/hardened receiver. It uses a falling-block action and is finished with a blued barrel and a walnut fixed straight stock. For optics, a medium- to long-range riflescope such as a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 provides a practical, sub-$1000 option for sighting this rifle at extended ranges without exceeding historical balance.

Applications: target metallic silhouette and period-correct sporting shoots; historical reproduction and long-range single-shot shooting events.
