Description

Cimarron created a spitting image reproduction of the famed Sharps rifle made famous in the classic western film “Quigley Down Under”. If you’re looking for a long-range rifle that is just as straight shooting and handsome as Matthew’s rifle, then look no further. Cimarron’s “Rifle Down Under,” replica emulates Quigley’s movie Sharps in detail! It features a color cased butt plate, receiver, hammer, lever and the attractive Model 1859 patch box, that accompanies a richly blued, 34-inch octagon barrel, all screws and double-set triggers. Modern advancements in metallurgy allow this rifle to shoot original black powder cartridge loads or modern smokeless powder.Highlighting this silver screen lookalike, single-shot side hammer long gun is a handsome checkered walnut stock with its pewter-tipped forearm, just like the film’s 1870s-style buffalo gun. A German silver blade front sight and a Lawrence-style folding leaf rear sight top off this exquisite .45-70 caliber rifle, making it a firearm you’ll be proud to enter into any “bucket” shoot–no matter how far!Action : Falling BlockCaliber : 45-70 GovBarrel Length : 34″Capacity : 1rdTrigger : Double SetOAL : 50.50″Stock Description : Fixed
