Ive been thinking about getting a breech loading rifle but cant seem to decide on a sharps or smiths carbine. Ive not handled either enough to make a decision... except for handling a sharps some years back but i didnt pay it much mind, and i cant check any out locally as we have no local gun shops that sell black powder arms. I know that i want to shoot using home made paper cartridges, be able to hunt with it if possible/need be, and have the gun have some decent precision out to 100-150 yards...if not more. So ive narrowed it down to the two carbines ive mentioned. Any of you out there own one or both or have experience with them and would like to share your thoughts and opinions? Im going to be shooting mainly black powder with the occasional Black MZ. Any little quirks these rifles have that isnt mentioned much but you feel are either a perk or a nuisance? In which catagories does one excell moreso than the other? Pros, cons, myths, facts, and opinions are all welcomed. Thanks in advance everyone!
