Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Pedersoli for Cabela’s Model 1874 Sharps in .45-70 Government is a finely executed reproduction of one of the most iconic single-shot rifles of the American frontier, combining historical authenticity with modern precision craftsmanship. Built on a robust falling-block action, this rifle reflects the strength and simplicity that made the original 1874 Sharps famous among buffalo hunters, long-range marksmen, and military shooters of the late 19th century. Its 34-inch heavy half-octagon/half-round barrel promotes excellent balance and heat stability, while the color case-hardened receiver and blued barrel deliver period-correct aesthetics. The classic walnut pistol-grip stock with cheekpiece and schnabel forend further enhances both visual appeal and shooter comfort, staying true to traditional Sharps styling.
