Uberti 1874 Special Sharps Walnut / Case Hardened .45-70 32 Barrel 1-Rounds

Overview

Uberti 1874 Special Sharps Features The Uberti 1874 Special Sharps .45/70 reflects the heritage of the famed Sharps rifles that helped define the term sharpshooter from the Civil War onward. Its powerful .45-70 chambering continues the tradition of big-bore Sharps rifles used across the American frontier for long-range hunting and steel accuracy out to 1 000 yards. The rifle incorporates double set-triggers allowing the shooter to "set" the front trigger to a light crisp pull-an essential aid for extended-distance precision. The top tang is drilled and tapped for Creedmoor sighting supporting the long-range capabilities that made the 1874 pattern legendary and still celebrated today in matches such as the Quigley Buffalo Shoot. A 32 blued octagonal barrel provides excellent sight radius and forward balance while the checkered pistol-grip walnut stock adds enhanced wrist alignment for steady repeatable control during prone or bench shooting. Case-hardened furniture reinforces the rifle's historical presentation echoing the classic sporting Sharps configurations carried by hunters and immortalized in Western cinema. A six-groove 1:20 right-hand twist stabilizes .45-70 bullets effectively and the rifle's 46.9 overall length with a weight of 10.85 pounds contributes to its smooth recoil behavior and deliberate long-range handling.
