Good stuff here guys.
Guess I should have made it clear that I'm not concerned with guns being ugly, nor with competition shooting.
Strictly a bucket list line item that I wanted a single shot to throw the plethora of lead I was bequeathed. My only caveat that it kill things that are within my sight at a reasonable distance.
Carry on.
RWE,
Being a lover of single shots for my entire, conscious, life, I have succumbed to Sharps fever. I had been suffering from a chronic, but mild, form of it transmitted via Crossfireoops and EvilTwin, but then I visited with sharpsguy about ten days ago. Now it truly is terminal.
If you want a work of art that will last you for the rest of your life, one that will please you with its performance and appearance, get a Sharps.
I had lusted after #1's for many, many years, but shooting a Sharps at long range with aperture sights, then barrel sights, I have turned my back on #1's. I know, it seems a fickle thing to do, but there is no turning back now.
Whether I ever shoot in competition or just hunt and plink, a Sharps is the way for me.
