Lone Rider SASS#32091 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I may have the opportunity to look at a Chiappa Sharps in 45-70. Seems like I have read that the quality may be less than desirable and I should stay away from it. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on them? Thanks!

John Boy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 How about if you let us know what the asking price is first ... and start from there They are not a Shiloh - C Sharps - Axtell -Uberti or Pedersoli Sharps * New or used ? Rifle or carbine ? Single or set triggers ? * Stock rear & front or globe & vernier sights? Retail - https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/chiappa-1874-sharps-rifle/p/1506154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Rider SASS#32091 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 It is a new carbine with stock sites. I haven’t seen it yet , plan on next week. I am more interested in the overall quality of the product. I was curious if anyone had any experience with them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think the Chiappa has button rifling, versus cut rifling on, say, the Pedersoli. I think the overall quality is okay, otherwise. How far are you wanting to shoot it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Lone Rider .... which rifle did you look at .... here are the retail prices. They don’t make a carbine in 45-70 https://www.chiappafirearms.com/family.php?id=57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Rider SASS#32091 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 They show their 45-70 carbines under the “falling block” tab. It looks like you hit the black powder tab. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have a Cimarron Chiappa 1886, in 45-70 government, not a Chiappa Sharps. So my experience with Chiappa is not with the Sharps, but, I am satisfied with the Chiappa I do have. However I will say that if I was looking at a reproduction Sharps, I would likely consider some other makers, before I considered Chiappa. Like as not, the Chiappa may be less expensive, than some of the other makers, and price is always an important consideration, unless you are a rich politician, or an actor (same thing). Take a good long look at it, before you plunk down your hard-earned yankee inflated money...and keep the old tried, and true adage, in mind..."you get what you pay for, and you very rarely get more than you pay for". My two bits... W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
