OT: S.H.O.T. Show Rifle Intro

[Pete44ru]

Lyman's New Ideal Model is a continuation of where the historic Sharps Rifle Series left off.

The streamlined lock profile and vintage-style laser engraving are exclusive to this Lyman's Ideal Model and unavailable elsewhere.

Further, Lyman's proven tang sight and globe front sight combine with the rifle's double set triggers to deliver the full measure of accuracy this premium rifle offers.

Need a drool smiley.

Sound like the old Charles Daily mini sharps given new life.

stainless is always a nice touch.

I would bet that it shoots pretty well also ! Would love to try one in .38-55

Pretty...

But I'd like to flog the copywriter who came up with "vintage style laser engraving"

That's the descendant of the Little Sharps, as originally made in the US and which is still offered in custom form from them. Little Sharps will chamber the US made models in many cartridges not available from the Italian company they licensed to build less expensive versions.

For those wanting a similar '77 Sharps, there's a fellow in Bend, OR willing to make one; the price is a wee bit more for a one-off, though.

anyone know the bore diameter they are using for the 38/55? wanted on of the 'little sharps' that Charles Daly was importing but the screwed up and made the bore diameter about .380 rather than the .377-378 it should have been. too much hassle to fool with, since i already reload for my vintage winchester 38/55 using the smaller diameter ..377-.378
i wonder?

You'd probably need a warrant for that.

I too fondled the rifle in Lyman's booth.
Definately on my list in 22 Hornet
