50-70 Shiloh Sharps Military Rifle

[Eric Johanen]

For a sporting weight/hunting rifle the 1X36 is great. Very good bullet weight and recoil is easy on the shoulder. My 50 90 is a #2 heavy barrel and that makes the heavier bullets very manageable. The Military rifle is well under 10 pounds while the heavy barrel "Buffalo Gun" is just over 14 pounds. Both cartridges and bullet weight ranges are suited to each rifle.
