The Shiloh Sharps booth was fairly small, but they had nice stuff!

Hey, I broke the internet!
EDIT, hey I fixed the internet! No, not really, my Photobucket account is back up again after a month timeout, due to too many guys downloading all my Girls of SHOT photos.

OK, OK, I hear ya!
I set up a second Photobucket account.

This is a HUGE handcannon that fires the .45-70 Government.
It is the Bison Bull. I seem to have lost my notes, but IIRC, this one is aboout $4000, due to all the extra engraving and gold plating.
The standard model is slightly under $1000. Not bad for such a big cannon.

I could easily like to have the 5th from the left (second full one from the right, the shortest in octagonal barrel) in the 45-100 calibre.

I wonder if the 45-100 could be loaded like a .410 bore shotgun for plink'n a bit of slow skeet?

:D *** gotta drool over those fine Sharps *** :D

That would most likely be a #1 Sporter (can't tell if it has a cheekpiece or not) and a 26" heavy barrel. Base price, $1902 + ebony forearm tip $220 + checkering $299 + what I'm guessing is semi-fancy wood $276 (extra fancy is $402). I don't think the .45-100 would be a lot of fun to shoot in that gun unless you get into the bull barrels (another $1000 and even longer wait). Guessing the weight at 9 1/2 lbs. Total cost - $2697 for semi fancy wood, $2820 for extra fancy wood. Then if you want the traditional steel buttplate, tack another $96 on top of that. Plus shipping and import fees and the 2 year wait.

Furthermore, I would not recommend thinking about shooting .410's out of them. I'd be willing to bet I'd know what Kirk would have to say.
 
The one I just got is the one next to it, 4th from the left in 45-70 aka 45 2.10". 30" heavy half octagon barrel, semi fancy walnut, pack hardened finish, polished black screws and I had them add the Lyman 5A combo front site and the MVA #130 sporting tang site.
Got 20 rounds of 535 grain paper patch amoo RTG and hope to hit the range this weekend.
Cheers,
Ricky
