Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Old West Rifle | .45-70 Govt | 30″ Barrel | Single Shot

Bring a piece of American frontier history to your collection with the Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Old West Rifle in .45-70 Government. Inspired by the legendary custom work of Henry Slotterbeck — a Württemberg-born gunsmith who emigrated to the United States in the 1850s and later co-founded Slotter & Co. — this historically faithful single-shot rifle captures the spirit of the great gunsmiths who shaped the Old West.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 1874 Sharps Old West features a 30-inch barrel with 6 grooves and a 1:18 twist rate, delivering the accuracy and performance that made the original Sharps rifle a legend among frontiersmen and long-range marksmen alike. The overall length of 48 inches gives this rifle an imposing, classic profile straight from the buffalo hunting era.

The stock is available in both Walnut and Maple versions, each appointed with premium brass hardware. A personalized engraving plate on the right side of the buttstock adds a distinguished, one-of-a-kind touch to your rifle. The forend features traditional wedge plates, and the pistol grip cap is crafted from case-hardened steel — a nod to the era’s finest gunsmithing standards.
