Uberti 1874 Special Sharps Case Hardened Lever Action Rifle - 45-70 Government - 32in - All models of Uberti’s 1874 Sharps rifles feature double set-triggers, allowing the front trigger to be set to a very light pull-weight—an aid to accurate shooting. The top tang on the Sharps receiver is drilled and tapped to accommodate the mounting of a Creedmoor rear sight.
After the Civil War, Sharps rifles were adapted to fire metallic cartridges. They were used by the American Rifle Team to win the first international long-range rifle match at Creedmoor, Long Island, New York.
