"I do think they are generally more accurate rifles"
"Think",...that's the operative word in your little thesis.
Lots of us here KNOW , and have formulated ours on longer, and WAY broader experience bases.
The later Pedersoli barrels MARKEDLY improved over the earlier quality,....as did their reamer designs, but than again, so did the REST of the industry, in the same time period.
The SQUAREST Sharps '74 I've ever worked on (and I've worked on "A Few") is a Shilo, and the general evidence of "The Builder gave a Rat's azz" is clearly and unquestionably weighted to the American built arms.
To say that the stock Pedersoli is "Generally more accurate" is horsechit, Mister, and their product support SUCKS.

That's fine, I'm not willing to let the fact that Shiloh makes an attractive, expensive, and hard to get rifle plus personal bias cloud my judgement. I just wanted best accuracy.

Last time I checked the entry level Shilohs came with plain wood and matte finished metal. Has that changed?

plain wood and action is case colored finish.

It seems like you have to get above $2000.00 to get nicely blued metal.

Brent I'ld about guess that CSA would build you one that looked just like that one, about all you need do is place the order and write the check... No, I don't think they could. Their 75 is quite different I believe.

Really the website says matte finished on the afforadable Shilohs.

They are a full sized rifle, they just are a full scale 1874 Sharps replica like the Shiloh. To get a nicely finished Shiloh it's easy to spend 4K.

. . . I'm not willing to let the fact that Shiloh makes an attractive, expensive, and hard to get rifle plus personal bias cloud my judgement. I just wanted best accuracy.
. . . To get a nicely finished Shiloh it's easy to spend 4K. That is BS and you know it Swampy. The last one I got from Shiloh is a gorgeous #3 Sporter, semi-fancy wood, 30" heavy bbl in 45-90. Placed my order on a Friday and had it in hand the following Thursday. They had one in stock that fit what I wanted - couldn't have custom ordered one any closer to what I wanted, although I woudn't have ordered the semi-fancy stock. Didn't cost anywhere near $4k either. The "personal bias" is the key in your sentence (actually more like "personal opinion"). If you don't want to get a Shiloh . . . that's fine, but everybody is entitled to do make their own choices, right or wrong.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

One thing for sure and certain. You don't see anyone selling their Shiloh so they can buy a Pedersoli. On the other hand."

They are a full sized rifle, they just are a full scale 1874 Sharps replica like the Shiloh. To get a nicely finished Shiloh it's easy to spend 4K. My point is that early everything you have posted on this entire thread is utter bullschit. The Dakota Arms Sharps are NOT full sized Sharps rifles. They are 3/4 sized "LIL" Sharps. A standard model Shiloh 1874 with standard finish and wood IS nicely finished and blued at less than 2K. I have owned several and just put in an order for another one. It's as nicely finished as any standard Dakota Arms model 10 at over 4K. Only a clueless jackass like yourself who's never actually held any of them would even argue to point. Given your penchant for plastic stocked Walmart Remington bolt guns, you would not know a nicely finished rifle if it hit you up side the head.

77s are not 75s. Not even close. The original 75 and the CSA 75 are quite different. This is a 75 ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lozito-wolf.com/sitebuilder/images/DSC_0742-760x512.jpg) I posted a photo of my 77 earlier.

E Blair the OP, asked for advice to buy a C Sharps High Wall reproduction or to get a Browning reproduction High Wall.Don't see where he made any inquiry about Shiloh at all.He wants a High Wall reproduction ,not a 74,75,or 77 Sharps copy. Std Shiloh blue is dull if you want a mirror blue you order the polished barrel @ $132 extra. C.Sharps also offers extras and options at extra cost. Pedersoli makes a reproduction that sorta looks like a 74 Sharps ,no extras,no options and costs alot for what you get. My 2 cts worth Magnum Man
