C. Sharps Arms Co. model 1874 Sharps long range target rifle in .45-2.6" (.45-100). MVA Soule type rear sight with Hadley eyecup, MVA spirit level front sight. The round shown is loaded with a 540 grain Paul Jones "Creedmoor" cast 20:1, lubed with SPG, seated over 85 grains of Swiss 1.5Fg and an .030" vegetable fiber wad, sparked by a Winchester WLRM primer in Starline brass for just over 1,300 fps. I used this rifle and load to win several 1,000 yard matches held at Ft. Lewis years ago. 34" #1 heavy octagon barrel; this thing weighs darn near 14 pounds.
