Kilimanjaro Report post Posted December 25, 2007 Do any of you guys here on CWT own a Shiloh Sharpe's rifle?? I have wanted to buy one for years now, but I just haven't parted ways with my dollars yet.. I think they are one of the most beautiful guns ever made. Just spectacular! When you hold one, you just feel like you are holding the past and a real American icon.. they feel amazing in your hands! They symbolize our past in this country and were a steadfast tool in "taming" the west.. I'm using one next month up here in MT on a trophy bison hunt we've got planned. It's an 1874 Creedmore in blackpowder 45-70. I've got a feeling that is gonna be a mistake!! I'm probably gonna HAVE to buy one then!! Anybody else?? http://www.shilohrifle.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted December 25, 2007 Is the one your looking at blackpowder only or can you shoot the cowboy loads in smokeless as well. I checked on several of these and and bought the lever marlin 45-70 1895c instead since it will shoot a lot more 45-70 loads, the 1874 is my favorite rifle and will be my next purchase. My dad had one and it was a blast to shoot, good luck on your hunt and on the purchase of your next rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted December 26, 2007 K, most of the modern "old" guns will handle mondern loads.. I know the Shilohs will.. but most of those blackpowder guys will scoff at ya for shooting modern loads out of a classic!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
