MOST Sharps rifles had a "tapered" barrel.

The Pedersoli "Silhouette" should sport a barrel just a whisker SCANT of the standard "#1 Heavy" profile.

Gotta agree with Ranch,....that would be a VERY reasonable buy at $800.
Properly tuned and run in,....AND with real sights, it will shoot right in there with any and all the rest.

Alla' this predicated on the thing being from that "Pedersoli Challenge"
era,....the quality really went (back) in the toilet after Dick Trenk's untimely passing.
