In the annals of firearms history, few names evoke as much respect and admiration as Sharps. Known for their unerring accuracy and formidable power, these rifles were the pride of the plains during their heyday in the late 19th century. Cimarron's "Pride of the Plains" model stands as a faithful homage to this legendary firearm, offering modern riflemen a chance to experience its storied legacy firsthand.
This .45-70 caliber masterpiece is more than just a replica; it is an embodiment of precision engineering and aesthetic beauty. The rifle sports a striking coin nickel receiver that demands attention while promising durability and reliability under any condition nature might present. Complementing this is a high-polished blued, 30-inch octagon barrel—a hallmark of classic design paired with contemporary craftsmanship.
Attention to detail extends beyond mere appearance. The hand-checkered pistol grip stock ensures comfortable handling, enhancing control over each shot fired from this magnificent piece. Additionally, it features a traditional Bridgeport-type Schnabel forearm that not only adds style but also improves balance.
For those who appreciate iron sights' simplicity yet demand excellence in performance, look no further than its Creedmoor rear sight coupled with a tunnel front sight equipped with inserts—providing clarity and precision long associated with Sharps rifles.
Whether you are on display at your local range or out on rugged terrain seeking game, Cimarron’s "Pride of the Plains" delivers both formidability and finesse worthy of its name.
