Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model 1874 Sharps Rifle, known by many names—including "poison slinger" by buffalo hunters and "Old Reliable" by the company—holds a significant place in American history and the expansion of the American West. It was originally introduced in 1871, though the model number changed in 1874 following a change in ownership, signaling new improvements. Regardless of the reason behind the name change, the Sharps 1874 quickly became the go-to rifle for frontiersmen, especially buffalo hunters, thanks to its renowned accuracy and power. Sharps rifles, particularly the M1874, were used in many legendary feats, including Billy Dixon's famous 1,538-yard shot at Adobe Wells during an Indian attack in 1874. The rifle’s long-range accuracy, combined with its distinctive aesthetic appeal, set it apart from competitors like the Ballard, Springfield 1873, and Remington Rolling Blocks. Today, replicas of the Sharps 1874, like those made by Davide Pedersoli for EMF, continue to captivate gun enthusiasts. These Italian-made rifles are crafted with exceptional attention to detail, featuring near-perfect wood-to-metal fit, deep bluing, and intricate color casehardening. The walnut stocks are of dense, straight grain with sharp checkering, and the craftsmanship is evident in the perfectly aligned screw heads and deeply crowned muzzle. The EMF Hartford Model Sharps replicas come in four variations, all based on the original 1874 Sporting Model, featuring a 28-inch full octagon barrel and double set triggers. Buyers can choose from three barrel finishes—blue, brown, or "in the white"—and calibers like .45-70 and .45-120. Additionally, special variants include the "Quigley" model (modeled after the movie rifle), the Deluxe Premier (with select walnut and fancy casehardening), and the Deluxe Engraved Premier, which adds hand engraving and gold inlays. These high-quality replicas are known for offering the craftsmanship of top-tier Sharps rifles at a more accessible price, making them a popular choice for collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike.
