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 .
