Cimarron Sharps Business .45-70 | 32″ Octagonal

The Cimarron Sharps Business is a single-shot sporting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a traditional 32″ octagonal barrel and a falling-block action. It features a color case-hardened receiver, a standard blued metal finish, and a straight walnut stock with a schnabble-tipped forearm and shotgun-style butt plate. Sights include a buckhorn rear and a blade front, and the rifle is fitted with double-set triggers consistent with the original 1874 Sharps Business Rifle. For a practical optic under $1000, the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 pairs well for both range work and field use.

Typical applications for this rifle include historical shooting/reenactment and large-game hunting where single-shot, traditional rifles are preferred.
