Shiloh Sharps 1874.

Those are beautiful guns. you ever see the movie Quigly from down under?  If not you should watch it. He's a long range shooter using one of those.

Yep, seen it more than once. My rifle is similar; I had it chambered in 45-70 without all the bells and whistles of the movie replica. Its a tack driver.

havent seen any other than the movie. nice rifle!

Cases are difficult to find, and when you do $$$$$. I want to shoot, 45-70 cases are abundant and reasonable in price

Yes, sir, I reload my 45-70s. I did consider the 45-100 and the 45-110 before placing my order. 45-100 cases can be bought but are expensive, Starline has them. As for 45-110, they're like the holy grail, good luck in finding them.
