Unofficial C.Sharps image thread

Just showed up the other day. Had to wait almost 5 months.

It's 40-70SS and "fancy" wood. Oh yeah, it's a HighWall. Single trigger (pull gauge says 2.5lb). Half octagon, half round barrel. MVA tang sight. and the wood looks better in person.

I wish mine was that purty!

Very nice!
What length is the barrel?

[Litl Red 3991]

30"

Can't wait to see what that and the case capacity do compared to my 40-65.

Got out to sight it in and see what the sight settings look like and maybe get a glimpse of what kind of accuracy it might have.

Wasted a whole day shooting on a crowded range with a couple of clowns for spotters. So went back today and was alone. Blessed if that ain't a joyful thing.

It's going to work with RCBS 300 CSA bullets and 5744 at what I hoped would be black powder velocities. Turns out 23.0 grains produced an average of 1375fps over a number of 5 shot groups. The average maximum velocity spread was 20fps and SD averaged 7fps. I would expect black to be around those numbers, but time will tell.

I played around with front sight inserts. Some are just worthless with my eyes. My club buffalo shoots use plates. 16X24 and 16x16 are the big ones. I setup a couple at 200 and started fiddling with the fronts. It was going great when I noticed I was down to 8 cartridges. So I repainted the big plate and did a 5 shot group. It rang 5 times, but looked like 3 through the spotting scope. I'm hoping the 350s will do better.

Interestingly enough, another thread popped up a few days after this one in which the OP was trashing C.Sharps for being mean to him. I didn't get that in my dealings.

And I got the rifle pictured a week ago after ordering it some months ago, just before Christmas. The end of 2014.

Great cartridge, and they build a good rifle. I have 5 Shilohs, 1 C Sharps a 75 in 22 LR great rifle and it is my 22 BPCR silhouette comp Rifle. You can not go wrong with American made, and if an issue, they will take care of it.
