SHARPS - of course. The only design to span percussion breach loading to big bore cartridge (models 1851 to 1878). The only gun to play a decisive role in American history from "Bleeding" Kansas as "Beecher's Bibles"; to the first US Sharpshooters of Col. Hiram Berdan in the Civil War, to the Indian Wars, to the Buffalo ranges from Ft. Griffith Tx. to Montana (decimating both a species of bison and destroying our Native American Indian culture in the process), to the Creedmore matches at Bisley England. The Sharps rifle is a combination of history, sleek design and "romance" all in one.

Of course, I would never turn down the opportunity to own and shoot a fine vintage double gun from either side of the pond.
