Got my Bucket List rifle! Finally

[FOTIS]

I did some horse trading with a good friend and finally I own an original Shiloh Sharps 1874 in 45-70! Robert and I are the only ones who have shot it and only with light/reduced (red dot/300 lead /1150 fps) loads. About 50 rounds through her. Box and papers included.!

Very happy....now to find a Vernier sight!

Tell us Fotis that you already have a hunt of some order in the works for this old gun? What a great snag!

 

[FOTIS]

Probably Mule deer or whitetail deer next October.

Congratulations. I am sure you will enjoy the heck out of.

Very nice Fotis! That's a great rifle for sure.
Bring it out here this summer for some herd management crop damage deer hunting. I will set you up with moving targets from 50-350 yards.

That's a Beauty for sure. I imagine that set trigger is divine

Me thinks it is Tatonka time for FOTIS!

You say that like there's only one bucket list rifle. LOL

Cool rig, man. I kinda want to pick up a Sharps or 10...

 

[RL338]

Really nice Fotis. Have any horses left

Nice Fotis!, I could wait to open this when I saw Bucket list and your name to see what it was

Wow! Hot rod "Bee's" and an old school buffalo thumper! Is there some "irony" there. Hope you plan on shooting it. We will look forward to the targets. Enjoy! CL

Outstanding, one of my all time bucket list rifles as well.

 

[RL338]

I aways think a Remington rolling block in 45-70 would be fun. My brother has one in 43 Spanish.

 

[Guy Miner]

Congratulations Fotis! That should be an excellent shooter. It sure looks great.

Regards, Guy
