C. Sharps Big Fifty?

[Eric Johanen]

Thank you all for the positive feed back! This rifle is really something! I really was not looking for another rifle purchase at this time but, when I saw this one I had to buy it. This is the one I've been looking to own for many years. It is built just like the "Buffalo Rifle" in my mind and It has not disappointed me. Lucrezia plain flat out shoots!! I'll probably work up a bullet/load for the semi buckhorn sight out to 200 yards and then two loads: one grease groove and one paper patched to use with the ladder up at longer ranges. Kind of like a all purpose rifle for hunting, banging steel and paper to 4 or 5 hundred yards. I am beginning to believe that the 1X26 twist is the way to go in a 50 90. With the 50 70, having 2 really good loads for hunting and steel/paper targets is also working well. Just have to get my final loading for the paper patched bullet and I'll be good.
