reacently i went to the local shop that both stocks Sharps relicas of various makers, AND that i trust to tell me the truth, or at least THEIR actually experience with a product. instead of trying to sell me the item in the rack/case that makes them the most profit. i went in witht eh intention of gathering information of various models of Pedersoli Sharps repros. esp. those models that would be ready or close to ready to shoot in BPCR/BPCR silhoette matches, or the SASS "long range single shot" side matches.
while there the owner advised me to look into the Sharps rifles being made by Armi-sport and imported by Taylor's. and sited one particular model that he said might fill my needs as a "starter gun" for this sport, that taylor's didn't have listed on their on-line catalog, but was comparable to the Pedersoli but (in his words) came with a better tang sight, and also that the Armi-sport was machined from Barstock instead of a casting like the Pedersoli (don't know if that's true, and that's a question i have). also his price on the Taylor's was between $100 and $200 cheaper than a similarly equipped(sp?) Pedersoli.
what can you guys tell me about the Armi-sport guns? and how do they compare to pedersoli, etc. ????
i can't afford a C. Sharps, or shiloh sharps yet or this wouldn't even be a question. i KNOW that the "guns from montana" are pretty much top of the line but for now i gotta go with the italian economy class lol
anyway thank you for your time. any and all input appreciated.
