Uberti vs Cimarron Sharps

I got the impression that Cimmaron was an importer as well. Either Uberti, Armi or Pedersoli... I don't think they make Sharpes rifle.
 
Thanks for the replies. Looks like I missed the boat on the Cmarron anyway. SakoAlberta said it sold today. However, he said ther was an unspoken for Uberti Long Range still available. Think I'll grab it. :)
 
I'd hold out for a US made Shiloh or C. Sharps '74, price is not much difference, and much better barrel quality, C. Sharps uses Badger barrels the best in the industry. Historically correct proportions and materials.....Also be aware of sight quality, some of the imported tang sights look good but have alot of slack in their adjustments.

The Cimarron went for $1799 and the Uberti Long Ranges(one still left) are going for $1849 while the hunters are $1149. Are the Shilohs in the same price range?
 
The Shiloh Sharps long range creedmore will set you back about $2600.00 U.S with out sights

Import permitts will cost you a wack right now, and a good Vernier will be about 300-500 and add an additional 2-300 for your front sight.

You will not get a 1974 Shiloh into this counrty for less than $3500.00 with sights and ready to go!

Cimarron does infact assemble guns and some are but together in the U.S along as being an importer for all the Italian companies.

They originate I believe from the Chiappa Kits,
as they produced one or 2 of there own, the US shooting team sharps was made by ARMI Chiappa for them , they made 900 of them ( form what I was told) as that was the origanal # made of these rifles in 1874, and understand they are assmbled in by ARMI Chiappa as well, these list for (if ou can find one) about $1925 US plus import permit and so on. My guess if you were to order one in special about $2500 landed Cnd

As well 3 Cimarron imports - sharps rifles- are Pedersolis, from what I am told as well beng the Quigley, Std rifle, and LR Creedmore

If the Truth be known, most of the parts, sights bla bla bla--- from the italian gun makers are the same anyway.

C. Sharps and Shiloh are better quality, but at a large price tag.. Have a look your self

Also for the C. sharps look at the extra list, you will find its an easy 1200 before you stop adding up what you get with the Uberti, Pedersoli, ARMI or Chiappa same comany this one made for U.S company Cimarron Sharps.... most all list the Creedmore about 1900 US, plus import

Here is an artical about the Cimarron US shooting team sharps

And FYI I still have not been able to figure out if Cimarrow assembled the U.S shooting team rifle in teh US or not, I am assuming that did nt as it is listed on the ARMI-Chiappa site.

Gotta agree with you Jason! I'm no expert on these rifles but I do know that the Ubertis are a different price range and time frame than the Shilohs.
BTW, we managed to get one more 'hunter' coming. Also, we have one Long range left. I talked to the supplier today and he may get more but they will likely be more $$$. :(
 
The sights are the same? Im not denigrating the Cim but do we have evidence that the sight is the same and that the "Shooting Team" was just a few Cim hacks?

Its just a Replica? with a nice stamp on it!

What else would you expect from a $2000 dollar gun? I am sure 120,000 k would buy you a reaL Sharps creedmore US shooting teams 1874 rifle lol! one of 900 issued Yikes...

I do not expect the Cimarron to be even close to what the real gun looks like, just an interp!!! of the replica. But neat...as the make good replicas, maybe not as nice as C.Sharps or the guys across the street in Big Timber!

Also that match was too close to call The Irish almost got them, and they were shooting muzzle loaders!!!
