I couldn't stand it. I called Bill Goodman and the .45-100 will be headed my way. ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/amegayw21/SHILOH-_SHARPS-1874-_SADDLE-_RIFLE-_MADE-_IN-_MONTANA-.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/ihtl3iv2h/SHILOH-_SHARPS-1874-_SADDLE-_RIFLE-_MADE-_IN-_MONTANA-.jpg)

My father bought the Quigley version in 45-70. It is a hoot to shoot! Best time I've ever had with a big bore. Congratulations!

Congrats! Shiloh actually put 7 rifle on the rack for sale the day I visited in Aug. And online. Doubt any are left.
Goodman was a name given to me if "I was in a hurry" to buy.

My first Shiloh was a Hartford with some upgrades that I ordered through Mr. Goodman. Got to have it built like I wanted (or could afford) and got it in a couple of months

Pacecars...nice rifle you got there.

Yup, I've got 12 lbs of KIK FFG and FFFG waiting. Gunner500 has a 50-90 as well, so I'll see what's worked well in his and go from there. It's a #1 Sporter, 30" octagonal barrel, Pewter nosecap, upgraded wood, shotgun butt, and both barrel tangent sights as well as a tang-mounted ladder sight. Should be fun!

If you feed that .50 with a good bullet it will do more then expected for you. I have one that has been shot more then all rifles I have combined and it looks like it was drug behind a runaway horse but nobody could buy it from me.
What is the twist you ordered?

Not sure on the twist, I bought it unfired from a collector. I'll run a tight patch through it before I start deciding on bullet length and weight.

Biebs, the original Big 50 used a 473 grain PP slug. The new guns are usually seen with a tighter twist because some guys use 600 t0 700 grain bullets. Pow wow with Kurt. He has the knowledge and experience.

ET, it is a recent build, so i imagine it will handle the heavy greasers like I plan.

I have two Shilohs, a 45-70 and a 50-70. They are fun to shoot. With the 45, I have shot two antelope and an elk. With the 50, just a hog.
