Pedersoli 1874 Sharps LR | .45-70 | 34in Barrel | Walnut

The Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Long Range is an accurate reproduction of the classic 19th-century single-shot falling-block rifle chambered for the .45-70 Government cartridge and fitted with a 34″ barrel. It pairs period-correct features—an oiled satin walnut checkered stock, German silver forearm cap, and color case-hardened receiver—with modern manufacturing tolerances for consistent performance. For optics, a scope such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 provides a robust, sub-$1000 option that complements the rifle’s silhouette and effective range without overpowering the classic ergonomics. Typical applications include long-range vintage-style target shooting and classic big-bore field use where a single-shot, well-tuned rifle is preferred.
