The C. Sharps Arms Co. Inc. Model 1875 Sporting "Old Reliable" rifle is a distinguished embodiment of craftsmanship and engineering, representing the legacy of one of the most iconic firearms in American history. This remarkable rifle is chambered in .45 caliber, making it suitable for a variety of shooting applications, from hunting to sport shooting.

Accompanying the barrel is a color case-hardened receiver, which not only enhances the rifle's visual character but also adds to its durability.

By the time the Model 1874 was introduced, it had become the first purpose-built rifle to accommodate the new powerful metallic cartridges that were revolutionizing firearms.

Each rifle is a testament to American craftsmanship, with parts made in-house or sourced from reputable U.S. manufacturers, ensuring that every piece is not only functional but heirloom quality. This dedication to quality reflects the spirit of the Wild West and preserves the historical significance of the Sharps rifle as a trusted companion for generations of shooters. In conclusion, the C. Sharps Arms Co. Inc. Model 1875 Sporting "Old Reliable" is far more than just a firearm; it is a continuation of a storied legacy rooted in American history. With its blend of classic design, modern manufacturing standards, and an unwavering dedication to quality, this rifle stands as a symbol of the enduring relationship between the American spirit and the craftsmanship of its firearms.
