Re: Sharps rifles
I had a Shiloh Montana in .45-70 Best fit & finish on any rifle I have ever owned, I would recommend the .45-70 since it can be used with BP or smokeless and can be more powerful than any BP rd.

Re: Beginning to get sick over the Taylor's & Company rifle
Taylors has no customer service, except to say replace parts and the Italians make lousy repros . From personel experience,which I have noted before. This gets old since the same problems have been dicussed for yrs. Stay away from Taylors and the Italian gunmakers.
