The CHIAPPA FIREARMS 1874 Sharps Rifle Sporting (920.002) is a precision-built single-shot rifle based on the legendary 1874 Sharps falling-block design, engineered for traditional long-range shooting, historical shooting disciplines, and classic single-shot rifle enthusiasts. Chambered in .45-70 Government, this rifle features a 32-inch steel octagon barrel that delivers consistent ballistic performance and excellent stability for extended-range accuracy.
Built around a falling-block single-shot action, the rifle operates with manual feed and extractor, offering direct chamber access and mechanical simplicity. The double trigger system allows use as a standard trigger or as a set trigger for lighter, more precise trigger control. A ladder rear sight with adjustable windage and elevation supports precise aiming across varied distances, staying true to traditional Sharps rifle sighting systems.
The stock and forend are hand-oiled walnut, with a checkered walnut forend capped by a pewter tip, reinforcing the rifle's classic Sporting configuration. The steel receiver features a color case hardened finish, paired with a blued barrel, combining durability with period-correct construction details.
