Own a functional, beautiful work of art and piece of history when you purchase the Lyman 1877 Sharps rifle. As the buffalo era was ending, Sharps refined their renowned rifle to create the rare 1877 Model. It was often referred to as the "English Model" not just due to it's refined styling but for it's high quality English-made barrels. This would be their last side-hammer model. More streamlined, the '77 was more hunting/target rifle and less heavy buffalo gun. It was the most advanced single shot of the day. A year later, William Lyman introduced his now famous Tang Sight.
Now, reproduced for today's single shot enthusiast, Sharps' final iconic side-hammer design and Lyman's sights combine to create Lyman's "Model of 1878". Painstakingly crafted to Lyman's specifications, by Pedersoli, this rare model has only been reproduced as an expensive, custom-made gun, until now. Lyman has changed that with a rifle that's packed with features that assure tack-driving performance.
First and foremost, Pedersoli's renowned craftsmanship and premium quality 45-70 barrel work in conjunction with the double set triggers and Lyman's tang and globe sights for a complete accuracy system. The buttstock has the faster mounting and more comfortable, "shotgun-style" butt and the forend is finished with a premium ebony tip. Both carry tasteful, functional checkering patterns. Period style, laser engraving adds additional elegance to the receiver and lockplate. Overall, Lyman's Model of 1878 is a unique and desirable addition to any single shot enthusiast's collection.

First Sharps type rifle I have purchased, fit and finish is very nice on the gun, beautiful grained wood. Action is smooth, Lyman sites that are included with it are good for mid range out to around 200 yards. Need to be careful on the tear-down for the cleaning the action, the take-down lever comes very close to rubbing on the forend, I removed the forend (just two screws) makes it easier and saves you from scratching a new gun. Completely happy with the purchase

Recently received my Lyman 1878 Sharps....my first Sharps. Extremely pleased with my purchase.....Buds came through like the champs they are. Rifle is exquisite in every way. Fit and finish are amazing on this rifle....wood and metal are pristine and the Lyman's tang sight was very easy to attach....a real collectors item it's more like a piece of fine art than a firearm and will be a family heirloom to be passed on to my grand kids.. Dealing with Buds was very easy and communication was great. Can't wait to get to the range and really put this rifle to work. Thank you Buds and look forward to purchasing more fine firearms from them in the future.

I purchased the Lyman Sharps 4570 & it was delivered in a timely fashion. The quality of the gun is excellent. I just sighted it in at 50 yards, 1" groups & can't wait for the weather to warm up to try further distance.

Wasn’t quite as fancy as I expected. The wood was nice, but not near what I expected for a 1500$ rifle. The rifle is pretty accurate with good handloads. Awesome set trigger. Pull is less than 2 pounds. Overall a pretty nice rifle, but could be a little nicer for the price. As always, Buds was excellent to deal with.

I received the Lyman Sharps Model of 1878 very quickly and in perfect shape. Thanks Buds! Overall, I'm very pleased with the rifle. It's basically a Pedersoli Sharps 1877 made to showcase Lymans '78 sight package. Unfortunately, the Lyman sights are useless to me. At .404" the front sight is too short for the heavy taper barrel. At 50 yards with the rear sight fully lowered, the POI was still several inches high. Also, the rear sight is not adjustable for windage, so the front sight had to be drifted .2" to the right to achieve zero. Although the sights were a disappointment, I was already planning to purchase a quality MVA sight package (#101/#112), which is now on the way. The finish on metal and wood is very nice, beautiful walnut grain, rich blueing, the best double-set trigger I have ever owned, and a very good value overall. I would definitely recommend both Buds and Pedersoli.
