I'm going to pass by.
Probably smart. .45x 3 1/4" aka .45-120 was introduced only after Sharps Rifle Co. folded. Seen only in rechambered rifles. Tedious to load for, darned tough to load smokeless for. There was an entirely different .45-125 Winchester which seems to have been derived from the .450 Express. .50-90 is a better balanced load but a hard kicker.
If you want to get into the field, .45-70 is the obvious choice. But not for $400.
