The only all American made replicas of Winchester’s classic Old West single shots are built by a small team of expert gun makers at the C. Sharps Arms shop in Big Timber, Montana. Selecting the best American sourced materials and blending traditional hand craftsmanship with modern CNC manufacturing technology, they produce semi-custom guns that look just like the 125 + year old originals, but are superior in strength and precision. Through their website www.CSharpsArms.com, you can order a standard rifle or use the drop down menus to pick the features you want to make the historic rifle of your dreams.
Starting at $2,250, and configured for small game hunting, the rifle I tested had historically authentic adjustable buckhorn rear and blade front sights, a Green Mountain octagonal barrel with a sporting chamber (but they’ll cut a tight match chamber at no extra charge), and was customized with a pistol grip buttstock with crescent buttplate for an additional $250. If you have a taste for a fancy walnut stocks with a cheekrest, hand checkering, a deep hand rubbed sealing oil finish, a set trigger, and soule type tang mounted aperture precision rear sight, you could easily add another $2000 to the final delivered price. Deliver times range from 6 to 8 months but perfection cannot be rushed.
