My wife caught me looking at the Shiloh site again last night. blush

She asked the perennial question; "What is so special about those when you have so many other rifles you don't shoot much?"

It took me almost a half hour to talk about just the model I want and the accessories.

She finally said; "I guess it's like me and saddles."

She got it. grin

She has bought several guns for me over the years, so I think I can get her on board with this without too much trouble.

Wish me luck! grin

Darla doesnt see the point cause she likes shooting rifles offhand and a Sharps is way to heavy for her to do that.....

Taking this bear hunting. cool


I'm in the "definitely maybe" category for Quemado, but I think you should bring that. I may need to pull the trigger a couple times to confirm that I really don't need one... grin

Barbara is a wheelgunner. No riles or shotguns for her.

That said, don't get her mad when she has her Mod 60 and stand in front of her at 100yds and feel safe. grin

close, it's a M1907 in .351. Minor problems may be finding a mag for it (I have one, somewhere, but it's packed away). I have some old ammo, but new brass is backordered. I do have dies for it. Need to get some of the Hawk bullets.

The High Wall is a .45-90. It weighs about 7.5 lbs grin
