Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Long Range Rifle Caliber .45/120
Engineered for precision shooting at extended distances up to 1000 yards, the Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Long Range rifle is a masterful reproduction of the original Sharps Long Range model, first introduced in December 1876. This iconic firearm was developed by extending the barrel length from the traditional 32 inches (813 mm) to a longer 34 inches (864 mm), enhancing ballistic performance and accuracy for long-range marksmanship.
Initially manufactured with a single trigger mechanism, the design evolved by February 1879 to include a batch of one hundred rifles equipped with the Stecher double-trigger system, allowing shooters to engage the hammer with greater control and improved firing cadence. This advancement is particularly valued in metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading disciplines, where precise ignition timing is critical for consistent shot placement.
The rifle features a stock and forearm crafted from carefully selected walnut, renowned for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The stock incorporates a pistol grip and a cheekpiece pad, engineered to optimize shooter ergonomics and ensure a stable cheek weld, which is essential for maintaining consistent sight alignment during extended shooting sessions.
Technical specifications include an approximate weight of 5.5 kilograms, a barrel length of 864 millimeters, and an overall length of 1290 millimeters. These dimensions contribute to a balanced platform that minimizes recoil and maximizes control, essential for competitive long-range shooting and precision hunting applications.
As a historical firearm with a distinct sporting style, the Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Long Range rifle is highly regarded among enthusiasts of black powder cartridge rifles and collectors who appreciate the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern ballistic capabilities. Its design and construction make it an excellent choice for shooters specializing in metallic cartridge reloading and long-distance target engagement.
