My friend that passed a couple months back had a rather nice C Sharps in 45-100 . Think he had it built about 10 years ago . He had some issues with getting it to shoot and asked me to help him some about 4 years ago . To be honest that was my first and only experience with a Sharps be it an original or an American made reproduction . I got him shooting well enough to suit him from the bench out to 200 meters but that was as far as I went !
He also had an original Remington Hepburn in 40-70 SS that was a blast and I did the load work and casting for that one as well . I would hands down rather have an original Hepburn . But I'll never pony up the cash for either , to many other things I'd rather have then a $3000 BPCR .
