Sharps fan myself. Have never saw one that heard that hammer getting cocked back yet. Been in real close to them. Now I had a doe at 80yds. last season look my way before she died, but it wasn't from hearing the hammer cock or winding me, just one of those things. Plenty of umph with these old cartridges. Course you gotta shoot them alot to know your site settings for way out there, but you'd really enjoy it. I'm just not a supermag fan as so many are these days. And how many of them can go out and run 50-100rds. through them at a sitting, not many. My brother-in-law shoots a .264 winmag that cuts out more bloodshot meat than I ever have. Just my input.
