I finally decided to go ahead and get a rifle that would have been at home on the Buffalo ranges when Sharps was still in Hartford. I have a Shiloh 1874 Hartford in .44-77 SBN with a 32 inch #1 1/2 barrel with the Hartford collar, military style butt stock, pewter friend tip, buckhorn rear, globe front and a mid range vernier sight on the way. It comes with brass so I need to get the dies and bullet molds together. This will be my first .44-77 and first .44 cal rifle so suggestions and advice are welcome. I will be hunting deer and pigs with it and plinking for fun. I guess I need to see about that retirement Buffalo hunt soon!
