That being said, next fall, (I hope) a Shilo sharps "Saddle Rifle" in 38-55 will be arriving.
Soon it will be getting a "Kelly" front sight which has a bubble inside it. It has been re-stocked with custom "Myrtel" wood and has a "Kelly" tang sight on it. My current gun club only goes to 600 yards, but in time I'd like to go out to 1000. Which sights to use? One pard told me absolutely get the bubble level on the front sight for long distance shooting. From my research, it seems in the late 1870s when these were originally being made, people had the notion that pistol grip stocks were weaker, and thus were only found in target models the "scouts" employed by the military likely would not have had them. I like pistol grip stocks, and it seems Shiloh has a few more of those available. Shiloh's web site says something about, "home of the Shiloh Sharps black powder rifle." I know these guns were intended for the Holy Black, BPCR shooting, etc., but are they also proofed for smokeless? I hear quality is on par with each other, so it comes down to which options I want (and a LOOOONG production wait). So I'm continuing to wait and save - these aren't cheap guns! Sharps or a Shiloh instead of the Pedersoli. However, I've been doing more and more research as I get closer to having the gold to make the purchase, and I'm now convinced that it is worth the extra money to have either a C. You may recall a post earlier about saving for the Pedersoli Sharps.
