45-120 Sharps Swiss Shooting

[mattybock]

a fellow lefty- tell me friend, where's the cheapest ammo for the 45-120 or maybe the 50-110? (I assumed designed for hunting the rare American elephant)

[dunbar555]

@mattybock : well, not really. I reload them. Would be far too expensive to buy manufactured ammo !

reminds me of red dead redemption

Sweet rifle, sweet music, but Quigley's Sharps was a .45-70.

[dunbar555]

@countryboy9561 Not at all.. it was 45-110. made by Shiloh Sharps, Montana.

[countryboy9561]

@dunbar555 I stand corrected. I havn't seen the movie in a while. But thank you.

[dunbar555]

@dunbar555

I shoot a Pedersoli Boss .45-120

My Load is a 535grn lead Bullet with 130grn Swiss Nr4.

700yrd, 20"x20" target no problem. The recoil ist nothing compared to a 300WM

[MegaZsolti]

hm i prefer righthand shooting lol but 5/5

gimme that sharps lol

[drewnickel]

you need to put the rifle firmly into your shoulder, the recoil won't effect your point of aim as much.

[dunbar555]

@drewnickel : well, it's 45-120 mat, loaded with 100grains of Swiss Black powder N°3 .. It has much recoil and kicks far.. nothing you can do about. I could have leaned forward in a modern way of shooting, but thats not the shooting style of that era.

[dunbar555]

It's a Hege Sharps, built with Italian parts. (probably chiappa) - Not the best stuff out there, but the one I could afford at that moment ! Get the Pedersoli, or even, if you can, the Shiloh Sharps Quigley in 45-110 !

[Sargeizm126]

45-120? thats cool!! What kind of Sharps is that? I was thinkin about buyin the Long Range Express with a rear sight like Quigleys

[dunbar555]

WTH are you talking about ?`Are you the classic lesson teacher ?

[weitzfc1]

please hold the gun diferently. its not safethe way you were handling it.

[ak47proshooter]

@weitzfc1 well he was pointing it towards the target and anyway it is a 1shot so it doesn't matter once its gone off
