I am one who appreciates your efforts at recreating the Sharps 1877 Creedmoor. I have one of the Axtell Long Range Creedmoors in 45-100 and it is the most beautiful rifle I own. It looks identical the the original Overbaugh I saw on an auction. I would say your meticulous work certainly paid off.

Why the change in rifle weight?

in the 80's before Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under caused the boom in LR shooting, we had a 4 match program here in the NW out to 1,000 yards.  Very few of the rifles would have qualified for BP silhouettes.  Too much recoil for a hundred shot weekend match  Grin
