Overview

Uberti 1874 Down Under Sharps Features The Uberti 1874 Down Under Sharps .45/70 embodies the legacy of the original Sharps rifles that earned their reputation for accuracy from the Civil War through the great buffalo-hunting era. Chambered in the powerful .45-70 it captures the big-bore capability that made these rifles famous for long-distance work on the American frontier.
