Thanks for sharing your experiences!
EDK & Woodtroll,
Thanks to both of you for sharing your experiences with the two Sharps companies.
I can understand anyone having a bad day, but when two people report good things about one company, and not so good stuff on the other, a pattern begins to emerge.
God willing, and I can afford it someday, I think I'll pay the Shiloh folks a visit.
I go out of my way to shop where I'm valued and treated well.
Happy Shootin'! -Tom
QUOTE=EDK;401263]I looked at Shilohs and C. Sharps at the factory. Both good guns.
C. Sharps didn't exactly break a leg to make me welcome or show me guns. They have little or no web site.
Shiloh Sharps greeted me like family and when I asked to look at a rifle, was told "walk around the counter and look at all of them. AND if you don't see what you want, we'll make it for you." And they did. QUOTE]
How is the recoil of the .50-70 compared to .45-70?
Hi KLW,
Thanks for the reply! I like Rolling Blocks, and hope to have one someday.
My dream gun would be a NYS Militia Rifle, or a Lonestar gun.
I have a Model 1868 Trapdoor in .50-70, but have not shot it yet.
I'd like to know how the recoil of the .50-70 compares to the .45-70.
One of these days I'd like to meet up with folks here in the PNW and actually be able to fire a classic BR rifle.
Happy Shootin'! -Tom
