Wow is right. Holy cow.

Wow, very cool. I have never seen that site. Thanks for bringing it to the forefront.

Very nice rifles...... Which one did you order?

Ha. Nope. Too much dough.

My late friend had two of their rifles that were made when they were still in Farmington N.Y. One was a 45-120 and the other a 50-140. They were beautiful rifles and I sent them to the gun auction in Lakeland Fl. to help out his widow.

We don't own a Shiloh Sharps rifle but I offered to get one for my Montana husband when I got out of all of my handguns, handgun shooting, and a few of my rifles. He did not take me up on my offer in the past.

I spoke to a salesman in Big Timber, MT a couple of times in the past.

We would like to visit their company in Big Timber one of these days when the weather is better.

That was a very nice thing for you to do for your late friend's wife.

Thanks Cate The sharps were only a small part of his stash. She got about $20 K worth from his guns and she gave me one of his large Fort Knox safes. I would do it a hundred times again as he was the one that really got me into shooting and reloading etc. almost 50 years ago. I miss him everyday even though he lived several counties away.

I had 50-70 Sharps # 2112 made in Farmington N.Y . I shot it for almost 30 yrs and the workmanship and steel was 5X better then the original rifle . The new sharps today is the best and well worth the money they are asking for them .
