1874 sharps
Sharps rifles are a series of large-bore, single-shot, falling-block, breech-loading rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848, and ceasing production in 1881. They were renowned for long-range accuracy. By 1874 the rifle was available in a variety of calibers, and it was one of the few designs to successfully transition to metallic cartridge use.
The Sharps rifles became icons of the American Old West due to their appearances in many Western-genre films and books. Perhaps as a result, a number of different rifle companies currently offer reproductions of the Sharps rifle.
