In the 1870s and early 1880s, if you had a Sharps buffalo rifle, you had the pride of the plains, because of that rifle's style, accuracy, power, reliability and ruggedness. Cimarron's "Pride of the Plains" model is a Sharps replica any rifleman would be proud to own. This .45-70 caliber arm features a head-turning coin nickel receiver and high polished blued, 30-inch octagon barrel, fitted to a beautiful hand checkered pistol grip stock with the classic Bridgeport-type, Schnabel forearm. The Creedmoor rear sight and tunnel front sight with inserts offer some of the best in iron sight optics.
