Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Old West Maple | .45-70 | 30″

The Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Old West in Maple is a period-style reproduction built to represent the late 19th-century Sharps pattern in a tuned, collectible package. It ships without front or rear sights and includes brass furniture, a case-hardened pistol grip cap, and a personalization plate on the right side of the butt. For optics, a low-magnification variable such as the Vortex Viper HS-T (2–10x) pairs well for preserving the rifle’s intended use while remaining under $1,000.
