In the 1870s and early 1880s if you had a Sharps buffalo rifle you had the pride of the plains because of that rifle's style accuracy power reliability and ruggedness. Cimarron's "Pride of the Plains" model is a Sharps replica any rifleman would be proud to own. This .45-70 caliber arm features a head-turning coin nickel receiver and high polished blued 30-inch octagon barrel fitted to a beautiful hand checkered pistol grip stock with the classic Bridgeport-type Schnabel forearm. The Creedmoor rear sight and tunnel front sight with inserts offer some of the best in iron sight optics.
