Replica of the famous Sharps cal. 45/70 widely used for bison hunting.

Thanks to its exceptional accuracy and wide variety of calibers, the Sharps was undoubtedly one of the most widely used rifles during the American Civil War.

 

The US government purchased 80,512 rifles and 9,141 carbines during the conflict. After the war, many Sharps percussion rifles were converted to civilian models with metal bolt-loading ammunition. The most famous model is certainly the 'Sporting 1874', also known as the 'Old Reliable Rifle Buffalo', linked to famous names such as Billy Dixon, 'Buffalo Bill' Cody, 'Bat' Matterson and many others. .
Chiappa Firearms, under the Armi Sport brand, has faithfully reproduced Sharps rifles for a long time. Over the years, a very rich range of Sharps rifles has been created, the common denominator of which is high operational reliability and perfect interchangeability with original parts.
