My notes here just says gorgeous.

It's light as a feather, and very well executed. action is smooth as glass. It has the traditional extractor one would expect on a fine single shot.

It's pictured in the Lyman revolution rotating gun vise.

Here's a better pic of the vise I got from their site:

Found this on another site:

Lyman's New Ideal Model is a continuation of where the historic Sharps Rifle Series left off.

Co-developed in partnership with Chiappa Firearms, this elegant rifle is scaled down in size and weight, making it a superior hunting rifle in the renowned .38-55 and .22 Hornet chamberings.

The streamlined lock profile and vintage-style laser engraving are exclusive to this Lyman's Ideal Model and unavailable elsewhere.

Further, Lyman's proven tang sight and globe front sight combine with the rifle's double set triggers to deliver the full measure of accuracy this premium rifle offers.

* Lyman Specification Bore Dimensions
* Custom Lyman Tang Sight with Target and Hunting Apertures
* Precision Lyman Globe Front Sight With Inserts
* Distinctive Receiver Profile featuring original Lyman Stylized Engraving
* Bright Finish Receiver
* Vintage Style Laser Engraving

MSRP Part # Caliber Weight:
$1595.00 (#6003855) 38-55 Win, 8 lb, Available Mid Dec 2010
$1595.00 (#6000022) 22 Hornet, 8 lb, Available Mid Jan 2011



So basically these are the same mini-Sharps that were offered by Charles Daly for the last couple years.

Oh my I would love that and if it was possible I would rechamber it too 375JDJ in a heart beat...

Anyone know what the barrel length is?

So it's made in Italy? With Lyman sights? Here I thought it might be made in the USA, looks great but I'll stick to C. Sharps or Shiloh Sharps.

Do either C.Sharp Arms or Shiloh chamber the .22 Hornet?
