RE: C. Sharps Big Fifty?
It was really nice to read about the 50/90. I bought a barreled action in 1979. Std barrel of course but I was 25 then so the recoil wasn't to bad. I shot just about every bullet weight up to the RCBS 515 that cast about 540 I believe. I tried to get Shiloh to install a heavier barrel for 7 years. But in 2002 they said send it back. It also needed a new breech block. I shot over 3000 rds threw the original barrel. I told them at Shiloh I needed a heavier barrel that's all. They installed a 34" HB. They even matched the wood to the butt stock. I've never shot over 200 yards with it. I'm disabled now waiting to have a knee replaced. It's tough on a walker to carry a rifle that heavy. So I've been shooting Colt SAA's and lever actions. But maybe soon Ill be out of purgatory.
