Dusty Morningwood Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 SOLD Tristar (Pedretti mfg) Sharps 1874 Sporting Rifle chambered in the venerable .45-70 Government. It has a 28" octagon barrel. Excellent condition - near 99% overall. Shows very minimal signs of light use. Probably a Safe Queen or display model. Nicely figured European Walnut stock has a couple tiny nicks. Fantastic sharp checkering. Pictures tell the tale. Bore looks immaculate and I do not believe this rifle has been fired. NOW $1150 SHIPPED! to your FFL only. NOTE: No flies on these rifles. I had one some years back that using same rear sight and a hooded front bead would shoot 1.5-2" groups all day at 100 yards from the bench. Did well out to 300 yards (all I had access to) ringing a 12" gong using a Lee Shaver vernier tang sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 A company called Sile imported them also. I had one 45 years ago. Good shooter, the 58 hammer is different. Also, it has a safety that is engaged when levered. You can see the safety in photo. Between Hammer and firing pin. Other than that, it was a good Shooter. Very strong Rifle.
