Congrats! I finally crossed one off of my bucket list last year. Always wanted one since watching Quigley years ago. They're wonderful rifles.

To one happy buyer (me) who can finally strike something off his bucket list :)

True story....

I had just lined-up yet another $1,500ish range toy that had no particular practical or intrinsic value when this was listed.
I tried to soften the news of the range toy to my wife by suggesting she was lucky I wasn't pining to buy the Sharps.

She looked over the ad and the photos.
Knowing full well that I have been eyeing one for years she told me that she would rather I buy the Sharps!

I guess that's why I married her 40 years ago :)

P.S.
Every time I looked into ordering a Sharps I got cold feet with the prices.
Entry level US$4K buys you a painfully plain (in my opinion) working rifle...
Adding options drives up the prices exponentially and rapidly not to mention a 2-3 year wait.
And that was before the crazy 25% tariff!
This rifle has literally every available upgrade except for engraving (which doesn't matter to me)
A truly wonderful find for me
