The Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Long Range Rifle (part no. 010S788457) is an accurate reproduction of the Sharps Long Range model first produced in December 1876, when original rifles with 32-inch barrels were converted to a longer 34-inch length for extended-range shooting. The stock and forend are cut from selected, checkered walnut in a civilian-style pistol grip with a cheekpiece for shooting stability, and the forend is finished with a German silver cap. This falling-block single-shot is built for long-range black-powder cartridge shooters and Old West competition.
