New C. Sharps 45-70

[Eric Johanen]

Yesterday, after a very nice morning on the sporting clays course, I swung by my local gun shop to pick up some shot and what do I see but a long barreled single shot in the rack. This demands a closer look! New C. Sharps 74, 34 inch standard octagon barrel, pistol grip, shotgun butt, nice wood and metal finish, checkered steel butt plate, C. Sharps spirit level globe front and long range C. Sharps veneer rear. 45-70 caliber. Hang tag price is.......999.99! Slight twinge of guilt as I quickly produced my credit card. Someone made a very big error pricing this one. I asked if that was the price and received a yes. I figured, If not me, someone else would get a steal of a price on this rifle. I replaced the C. Sharps rear with a spare MVA mid-range as they are marked differently on the scale and I think I'll have less of a problem keeping elevation settings using sights I am familiar with. I'll get some range time later this week to try it out. Suspect it will shoot just as good as it look's! Blind squirrels and acorns comes to mind!!
