Selling a tuned .45-70 pedersoli Infantry Sharps with set triggers. Has seen about 15 rounds since new, though has been carried. Some marks on the butt stock but overall good condition.
The Pedersolis are considered the best of the Italian Sharps rifles. However I find the finish has much to be desired. Most I have seen have fairly aggressive machine marks and gritty actions when new due to rough finishes on the internals. They shoot good but do not have a terriblly high quality finish, unfortunately.
This rifle has been tightened up about as much as these can be. The finish on the metal is very smooth and shiny and the action feels like a Shiloh with the lever spring deburred and the receiver cleaned up. The slop has been removed from the rear sight and is tight. The set trigger is very nice and the rifle has shot great the little I have taken it out. Overall, a vast improvement over the off-the-shelf production rifle.
Unfortunately, I'm looking to part with it due to it just never getting taken out hunting anymore.
May consider trades for certain Winchester lever actions, Chiappa Spencer, Uberti Colt-Burgess, Shiloh Sharps, etc. I also am a multi ATC holder and may be interested in very specific 1911s or a Freedom Arms 83. Ultimately, cash is king. But you never know.
$2650 and shipping extra.
Thanks for looking!
