The Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Quigley Down Under (Pedersoli part no. 010S789457) is a faithful reproduction of the falling-block Sharps rifle popularized on screen, built from a Cavalry-model heritage that it retains in its patchbox and saddle ring. Davide Pedersoli chambers this Down Under variant in .45-70 or .45-90, pairing a select, checkered walnut stock and forend with a German silver cap for a period-correct look. The long 34-inch barrel and set trigger make it a serious long-range single-shot rifle for black-powder cartridge shooters.
