The Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Little Betsy in .30-30 Winchester (brand part no. 010S762303) is a slimmed-down version of the classic Sharps from Pedersoli, with a 24-inch barrel and a weight of just over seven pounds. Pedersoli rounded the frame, side plate and barrel to trim ounces, and the forged and CNC-machined frame carries floral engraving. The barrel has a matte blue finish, the stock is American walnut, and a double set trigger gives a crisp let-off. A tunnel front sight and a folding Creedmoor rear sight come with it. It suits shooters who want the Sharps look and a falling-block single shot without the weight of a long-range rifle.
