Read the article and had to send an email to one of the Armi Sport importers here on this side of the border. One of those in 218 Bee would be just the ticket for a mid-range fox and coyote gun.

Someone just recently recommended one of these in 38-55 for a forum member. Not sure they come in that cartridge, though. Good article, pics and video as always Jeff! 8)

Sure is Tutt. Quoting from the text:
" In addition to the .45 Colt, the Little Sharps is chambered for the .17 HMR, .22 Long Rifle, and .22 Magnum rimfire cartridges, and for the .218 Bee, .22 Hornet, .357 Magnum, .44 WCF, .30-30, and .38-55 centerfire cartridges. "

That would make a neat little rifle for Y2K; he would have his and I would have the full-size version in .45-120. Then I could swipe one of his guns for a change!!! :D

That Improved my opinion of these little rifles.

When I saw the first photos I was really excited to get my hands on one.

First one I came across must have been non-typical. The stocks were kinda on the rough side and wood metal fit was horrible.

Looks and sounds like they've addressed that issue or a bad one just slipped by.

Will have to give them another look. 45 Colt or a 38-55 would be sweet.

They used that rifle on the "Outdoor" channel Cowboys show. The Gent had it in 45 Casull and used it on a Bison, with one shot success !

MSRP is around $1250 or so, but real world price is about $1000.
