I just picked up my Shiloh Sharps that I ordered through Bill Goodman. It is a Business Rifle in .50-90 with a 30” heavy tapered round barrel, full buckhorn, semi-fancy walnut, steel shotgun butt plate, pewter forend tip and brass escutcheons. I took some quick pics inside with bad lighting and will get some better ones tomorrow if it isn’t raining. These pics don’t do the wood justice.
What a fine looking rifle. My Shiloh Business rifle (from Bill Goodman)was delivered to my FFL this week. I'm picking it up later today...can't wait. Thanks for sharing. Mine is very close to the same specs except for caliber, 45-70.
Stunning rifle, thanks for sharing.
Very nice. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Nice looking rifle, and the round barrel looks great!
That's a fine rifle - you can't go wrong with a Shiloh. I've had one for over 30 years
Nice, VERY NICE.
Hope it shoots as well as it looks!

Very nice!
Very nice! So this would have been after the Sharp's carbine which cut off the end of the paper cartridge after loading? Any idea why it's called a "business rifle"?
The business rifle was the least expensive model to produce cause of the round barrel it was offered for the hide hunters who wanted the legendary sharps but didn't or couldn't afford the higher priced variations of the 1874 rifle. I've been trying to decided which barrel to order my shiloh #3 in either a standard weight 30" octagon or round 28" round business model barrel. I want a period correct .50-70 hide hunters rifle and either would be correct for that.
These are a little better
Yep that's not your average hide hunters rig. sweet looking walnut the sunlight makes the woodgrain really stand out. Are you going to use the 450 gr lyman bullet?
That’s beautigul
What pics?
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
You don’t see them?
I see them. Beautiful rifle!
Just recieved one in that same configuration, but in .50-70 with a pack hardened action and an ebony pistol grip. Only standard wood though. Beautiful! https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/in...;ts=1602259337
