Shiloh Sharps Recreating the Guns of the Old West

[@1960Sawman]

I used to do a lot of hitchhiking in Montana years ago and I got dropped off in Big Timber. I was walking through town and noticed your office. I walked inside and looked at all of the rifles on display. Those are the most beautiful rifles I have ever seen. Excellent craftsmanship. I talked with someone at the office for a while and then I hit the road.

I have one. I waited five and a half years for it. when it was finally ready I flew through a snow storm to Billings and the next day I drive 85 miles through the snow to pick it up. They gave me a nice tour of the factory. Very cool.

I love my 50-90 I bought from Shiloh (took me 3 years to get it, mostly because i was deployed to Afghanistan for a very long time and i told them "its not a big rush"). I'll be putting a 45-70 on order sometime in the next few years.

Thanks for watching - and Thanks for serving!

These rifles are fantastic! The fit, finish and accuracy is phenomenal. Hanging one on the wall is almost, almost, disrespectful of the weapon. They were designed in 1872 as long range target rifles, and were considered as THE most accurate rifles in the world. And they won the prizes to prove it. I use mine for hunting, buffalo and bear. Sure they get a little banged up, but they are honest, genuine scars from use. That's what they are made for.

One of these day's I'll have one...my wife n I do CAS competitions n the side matches at the states n regional's always have shooter's competing with these types. Right now I use n original 1873 trap door in 45-70 gov.....maybe my wife will surprise me with one of their guns....lol...most likely cause she want's to have one also...lol...great video...thX

[@TodaysWildWest]

Thanks CT!

[@jefff8106]

Find it a little ironic that the two girls they show when talking about shooting competition are not holding Sharps. Actually almost no one in any of the pictures are.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Some of these rifle look very nice, but I am surprised they use castings, and not forgings in the action, and a lot of the rifles shown here were Winchester 1895?

[@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305]

I just bought one of these Yesturday, but mine is a Cimirron, made by Armi Sport in Italy,, I actually wasnt even looking for this rifle, but i saw quigley down under the night before and decided to go to cabelas. Funny thing is 2 days prior i bought a 44 Henry big boy lever action rifle, and i thought why go back to cabelas.. they probly have nothing new.. wow i was wrong, i found this 1874 quigley model with the 34 inch barrel and the plate on the rear of the stock.. It was $1800 but i got it for $1700, it even had a $400 6x scope on it. It was used, but this one looked like a wall hangar it had no scuff, no scratchs, no nothing on it or even inside.. Sorry Shiloh mine isnt one of yours.. but who can pass up a 1874 quigley when its in your face in person ? Plus i heard the waiting list for shiloh is 4-5 years.. Dont think id like to wait that long lol

[@johnbarrett7534]

Great rifles !!! The only way I will part with mine is thru my death.

Buffalo hunters🤔 the buffalo were wiped out to starve the plains Indians into submission🤔

[@akula682]

Thats not accurate, it is however, most definitely what "they" want us to believe. I wrote the following many years ago, the comments about the disease comes from an article I read back in the late 80s about the bison. There were different versions of the same data in several prominent magazines at the time. Much of this has been "lost" so the "proper narrative" could be pushed to the front and be the new "truth". While the expanding Europeans into America did cause some issues they are not the reason the Buffalo almost went extinct. About a decade after Europeans finished the "Mass Slaughter" of bison when settlers were pushing further west they found Fields upon fields of hundreds and thousands of Bison that died of natural causes. There were no indications of butchering by man, and very little wildlife destruction of the corpses, which implies disease. (When herds get too large nature takes control and remedies the situation, usually through disease.) Think about this from a logical standpoint, there were over 60 million bison at the height of their population in North America (every few years they revise the total number of the herd down, and increase the number killed on a daily basis to try and increase the perceived devastation). For ease of numbers we'll split them 50/50. 30 million male, 30 million female. Now lets say that only 50% of those females, 15 million, were able to give birth every year. That’s 15 million calves every year added into the herd. Lets adjust that number to reflect birth defects that resulted in still births, and early death as well as wolves attacking the young easy prey. So lets say 10 million new viable births every year. 10,000,000 ÷ 365 = 27,397 per day. 27,397 kills everyday of the year would not even start to put a dent in the primary herd, remember we are still talking about the 10,000,000 new birth numbers here, we haven't gotten into the primary herd. We know that the mass hunting did not occur all year round, nor did they kill 27,000 every day that they did hunt. Humans, through hunting, did not have any real affect on the bison as a whole. Yes they may have decimated specific herds in certain locations having a drastic effect in that local area, but as a whole, there was no lasting effect from hunting. And there is no evidence of the white hunters and settlers poisoning them either. The prevailing thought (even if its been hidden for decades now) of why they died in huge numbers was due to a bacterial or viral infection that spread throughout the herd and decimated it. (Kinda like the disease they have now that they are somewhat immune to, but that disease will decimate farm cattle... its almost as if evolution won 🤔. Those that survived had an immunity to the disease... survival by those most adaptable to change.) In short, stop blaming the hunters.
