My Google-Fu is weak and I have been unable to find out if Pedersoli 1874 Sharps rifles come from the factory drilled & tapped for scope mounts.
I’m hopeful some of you that own these rifles will be able to answer.
Thank you!

Like others comment the Pedersolis are not drilled for scope mounts. I've added the MVA winchester 5x and the deluxe micrometer mounts to my Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Sihlouette. I have a mini milling machine and i do cnc machining by trade so i drilled my barrel myself. Not too difficult just takes a lot of carefull positioning and preparational measurements. The Pedersoli barrels are quite soft and easy to actually drill and tap. Once i had the scope mounted, then i needed to do a lot of trajectory testing to caculate my scopes elevation click values. Heres a pic of my Sharps
