Afternoon folks,
You guys have me hankering for a single shot 45-70. So I read, and read, and it just makes me want one all the more.....
I am currently working out of town and making the drive home on the weekends. I pass several excellent small gun shops on the way home and will eventually check them all out. At any rate, one that I have stopped in a few times has several single shot 45-70's. A few trap doors that have seen better days and the aforementioned uberti. I like the looks of this rifle and have always liked the looks of the sharps. What can you guys tell me about this particular gun? I know a Shiloh would be the ultimate, but they carry a heavy price tag and a long wait. I can put this one in my hands much faster. The shop wants 1500$ish for it. Is this a decent price? I know I would want to put a tang sight on it, most likely a veneer. Help me out spending my money fellas.
Thanks, Ken
