Uberti 1874 Down Under Sharps Features The Uberti 1874 Down Under Sharps .45/70 embodies the legacy of the original Sharps rifles that earned their reputation for accuracy from the Civil War through the great buffalo-hunting era. Chambered in the powerful .45-70 it captures the big-bore capability that made these rifles famous for long-distance work on the American frontier. Its double set-triggers enable the front trigger to be finely tuned for a light break giving the shooter exceptional control when firing from prone or supported positions. The top tang comes drilled and tapped to accept Creedmoor sights honoring the tradition of 1 000-yard Sharps competition still celebrated today. The 34 octagonal barrel delivers a long sight radius and remarkable forward balance echoing the style of the heavy long-range rifles popularized in Western cinema-most notably in Quigley Down Under whose influence continues to shape modern Sharps enthusiasm. Its blued barrel pairs cleanly with the case-hardened receiver and buttplate for an authentic period presentation. With a six-groove 1:20 right-hand twist an overall length of 50.9 and a weight of 13.25 pounds the rifle offers exceptional steadiness and recoil control making it a commanding choice for precision-minded shooters.
