This Pedersoli 1874 “Billy’s Sharps” reproduction from Taylors and Company is a faithful, single-shot sporting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a 32″ octagonal barrel and a checkered, oil-finished walnut stock. The rifle features a blued steel receiver that is drilled and tapped, a double-set trigger, and period-correct dovetail sights.

Use it for historical target shooting or big-game hunting where a single-shot rifle and the .45-70 Government cartridge are appropriate; the drilled-and-tapped receiver also allows for mounting an optic if desired. The combination of classic lines, blued steel, and a well-figured stock gives the piece presence on the range or in a collection.
