Range Certification to operate a Long-Range Match
La Sombra replied to Frontier Lone Rider's topic in SASS Wire
At the GA State match last year, I had to show/prove/verify that I could in fact "shoot" long range. I was given five opportunities/shots to hit a 100 yd target twice. I hit the targets on the first two shots. Unfortunately, those were the only two targets that I hit in that match. ๐ Also if I had to guess as to why, insurance (and the fact that the Monocacy River runs behind the berms). La Sombra -

SPF: Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Business Rifle 45-70
La Sombra replied to La Sombra's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
Thanks DJ. -
Gentlemen, My response to this thread on the IAB was not to prime interest in my sale. They were two separate actions. Coincidence, believe me. My focus in long range has shifted to 40 caliber chamberings. Hence the rifle for sale is extraneous to my needs. La Sombra

Up for sale is a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Business Rifle in 45-70 distributed by Cimarron Firearms. This rifle has case colored receiver, double set triggers, a 32 inch barrel, globe-level front sight and buffalo long range vernier sight. This rifle love 525 grn Postell bullets over 48 grns of 3 F APP. (I have never shot the "Holy Black" in this rifle.) You do your part and trust me this rifle will do its part. The rifle is clean and well maintained. There is a small bit of "safe rash" on the butt stock (See pictures). All in all a good first rifle for SASS Long Range side matches or entry level BPCR. I am asking $1750 and I'll cover shipping. PM me for payment details. First posted "I'll Take It" followed by a PM and it's yours. La Sombra

While I cannot disagree with OLG assessment regarding "Buy a Shiloh Sharps or C Sharps", Uriah's suggestion is spot on regarding a Pedersoli. I would run from any other Sharps than those three. I own at least one of each. Now the big question is what are you planning on using it for? SASS long range match? Any of those three will do. NRA Silhouette? Shiloh or C Sharps. Long Range (600 yds plus) Custom rifle by Shiloh or C Sharps. Plinking or bang a gong at 100yds, buy the IAB and recognize that you will never see a return on the investment. Big Bore shooting is an affliction and a long dark rabbit hole. Trust me. ๐ La Sombra Who just finished loading 20 rds of 40-70 Sharps Straight to try out a new load!

Professor Thoreau is a straight shooter (pun intended). I have made some great purchases from him with no regrets. Deal in confidence. La Sombra

The Magnificent Seven 2026 Rise of the Seven
La Sombra replied to Captain Bill Burt's topic in SASS Wire
My guess would be nothing changes since the Mag7 is a competition overlayed to a region. I see no reason to change the 7. The Mag7 was formed due to the sequence of Southern states state matches. La Sombra
