Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Shiloh Sharps Montana Roughrider in 40-65

This is a like new, probably unfired Montana Roughrider from the Shiloh Sharps Company. It is chambered in the 40-65 cartridge, which is gaining in popularity in BPCR match shooting. Gunner500 said to make sure to mentions its a Bryan-built rifl :-).

The rifle is optioned with a 30" octagonal barrel, case-hardened receiver, schnabel forend, shotgun buttplate, and barrel-mounted tangent sights.

Also included is a full set of reloading dies, as well as 80 rounds of factory ammunition loaded with smokeless powder, firing a 265gr lead bullet at about 1,700 fps. This is more than adequate for Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, and similar-sized game. You can continue to shoot smokeless, or load up the cases with 2F black powder and a "greaser" or paper-patched lead bullet like they did in the day.

$2,250 shipped

GW you need to buy this. Would make a great addition to your collection.

I have Shiloh Sharps in 45/70 and 50/70. Great rifles.
This 40/65 is priced to sell.

Thanks Dale. Yes, can't match Shiloh Sharps build quality, for sure.

Damn fine rifle in a classy chambering. I only owned one Shiloh Sharps, and it too was a Montana RoughRider. Beautiful rifles.

Nice rifle B,

One suggestion,-precisely measure the muzzle diameter across the flats and list it here.

A Heavy barrel should be about 1" and the standard closer to .900" It is hard to tell the contours apart from just a pic but it makes a difference in terms of rifle weight ,which matters for match use, hunting etc.

An all up weight would be nice as well.

jk16,
It is a "Standard" weight (Sporter Weight) barrel, you can tell by the tulip at the receiver. A #1 Heavy barrel would not have the "step".
Muzzle measurement will be .920" across the flats on a 30" barrel.
Rifle weight with the standard straight grain walnut will run right at 10 pounds, maybe a bit less.
Beibs,
A very nice well kept "Early" Bryan made Shiloh.
Good luck with your sale!

It measures just less than an inch. Rifle weighs about 9.6 lbs. More of a hunting rifle than a heavy, long-range target gun.

John, that's a beauty!

A rifle collection isn’t complete until it has an 1874 Shiloh Sharps staring you in the face, in the front row, when you open the safe door.

Who here needs to “complete” their collection?

Quit drooling over that beautiful piece of Black Walnut on the backend.

Quit drooling over the four boxes of shells and dies. You know they belong on your loading bench.

Quit making excuses. Stop worrying about what the old lady will say, and just type those three simple words, “I’ll take XX”, and click the Post Reply key.

You know you want to sit in your recliner, and physically handle this beautifully handcrafted firearm, and dream of the future hunt you’ll take it on.

Looking at these pictures, and dreaming, is “not” the same as holding this fine handcrafted firearm in your hands, and dreaming. So quit drooling, and buy it. It’s a fantastic price for a fantastic handcrafted firearm, made by fantastic craftsmen.

Thanks, Elk. Yes, it is a nice piece, for sure.

I'll take it. PM sent.

Sold to John B!

Whew. John saved me from Jon.
