First Sharps type...
First Sharps type rifle I have purchased, fit and finish is very nice on the gun, beautiful grained wood. Action is smooth, Lyman sites that are included with it are good for mid range out to around 200 yards. Need to be careful on the tear-down for the cleaning the action, the take-down lever comes very close to rubbing on the forend, I removed the forend (just two screws) makes it easier and saves you from scratching a new gun. Completely happy with the purchase
