PEDERSOLI 1874 SHARPS Q DOWN UNDER 45-70 34

The PEDERSOLI 1874 Sharps ‘Down Under’ is a reproduction Sharps rifle derived from a cavalry model and finished for traditional black-powder use.

Its configuration and set trigger make it appropriate for historic reenactment and black-powder target or field shooting where modern cartridges are not used.
