Decisions, decisions? The Foolproof is, well, foolproof, but looks a little out of place to me on vintage rifles which this on the edge of. The Lyman looks more period but - personal preference I would say.

Bruce, the wood is standard grade but apparently there is an option to have them select the best of that. It might not be listed as an option. This is Curtis's third of these and he always seems to get some custom combination of options that he discusses with them. I guess they will do almost anythi...

Dave, I think Scott sticks with black - great stuff - Curtis plans to use smokeless in this one. He did buy it for the same purpose though - a general hunting gun. He has two others. All nice arms. Could get the fever myself.

Rusty, Shiloh Sharps in Big Timber, Mt. What a lovely rifle. Hobie - probably just send them the dough. This one was about $2300 I believe. I handles very well and that little lever latch is natural underneath the middle finger. Thanks Griff, I certainly can't claim any degree of proven skill with t...

45-70, the handload was 25.0 grs of 2400 behind a 365 Lee. I had previously gotten about 2 1/2" for five at 100 yds with my 1895SS and yes the shooting on these were at 100 yds. That load had previously chronographed 1475 fps in the Marlin.

What works well for you in smokeless in you Sharps?
