VERY FANCY CUSTOM SHILOH SHARPS No. 1 SPORTER IN SCARCE .40-50 BN CALIBER, #5XXX, MADE IN FARMINGDALE, NY EARLY 1980s. A truly beautiful example with 30" standard octagon barrel, double set triggers, pistol grip, cheek piece and shotgun butt.

The .40-50 Bottle Neck cartridge is simply the .45-70 case shortened and necked down to take .40 cal. bullets. The rich color walnut in this rifle is beautifully figured with fiddleback in both stock and forearm. Has the early classic "OLD RELIABLE" barrel marking along with the normal Shiloh markings. Weighs just under 11 lbs. Appears about new inside and out. This stunning rifle would have a current catalog price of about $5200. with a 2+ year wait. I've priced it at $4200.
