Those rifles in the Inventory Room at Shiloh sure don’t last long.You can watch the same rifles on gun broker for months. They have Montana Rough Riders in right now. There is one less in that room though.

Ok. This is what I remember off the top of my head. Montana Rough Rider with the standard wt 30in octagonal barrel. Full buckhorn rear and they are adding a Baldwin front sight. Steel shotgun butt plate and extra fancy wood. It was the wood that did it to me. It was like seeing a 70+in. bull moose right outside camp during season. I knew I was going to pull the trigger even if I did put my iPad down and walked away from it at least 3 times. They said I’ll have it Wednesday.

Nothing like impulse gun shopping and instant (by Sharps rifle standards) gratification. I always enjoy a little vicarious gun buying.

Have fun

There is a good reason they sell quicker on the Shiloh site than on other sites. You know exactly what you are getting, a brand new rifle with full factory warranty and the superb Shiloh customer service. There are always things to think about when buying a used rifle that you don't have to worry about when buying from Shiloh.

I have a Montana RR w/ 30" oct barrel in 45-70 and it is my go to silhouette rifle. It's right at the wt limit. I love it. It likes a 540 gr money bullet with 62 grains of Swiss 1 1/2. Eventually I'll work up a better load but it does pretty good with this one.

First time I drove down to Shiloh they had a few in inventory. A little 26” standard half #1 Sporter semi fancy caught my eye. I had a pewter fore-end put on after the fact. If I had to do it over again I would of added checkering and their AA finish or AAA. Extra finish is almost like going up in wood grade. As lumpy always says, welcome to the sickness

[Skywagon]

I’m fully aware of ‘the sickness’. I don’t think that Shiloh is a ‘gateway’ firearm to this sickness. I spent the night in Big Timber back in 1999 driving from SD to AK and didn’t stop into Shiloh. I was fully aware of who and what they where because of many articles written in Shooting Times mag. I had other things that I thought more important to spend my money on,not that I had money. But if I had really wanted I could have made owning 74 possible. Military Surplus is responsible. Relatively cheap and some like the 03 Springfield are beautiful. Then Winchester M70s. And then......I’m spending a pile of cash for just one rifle.

I saw that gun the other day visiting the gun inventory room web address. Skywagon your a dick, ship it? how the hell can you pass a road trip to Big Timber to buy a new Shiloh ?That's a good chunk of the fun ,buy the gun ,drive up the mountain across the river to the BLM spot where all the locals shoot, put up a target and burn some black. Clean and oil it right on the spot, drink a beer sucking in that clear cold Montana air that is so pure that meat never rots. Jesus dude! Congrats any way. bobw

Drove to Big Timber from Arizona in 2000 to pick up my new Roughrider. One of the best trips I ever took. Folks at Shiloh are some of the finest I have ever met!

2623 miles from Anchorage to Big Timber. I think I’ll let UPS handle this one. You guys bring up some points that are appealing. Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to do it.

I drove 1506 miles one way from my house to Big timber three different times to pick up my Sharps. Two times it was a bull barreled 45-110 and once for a 40-70 SS Roughrider. That way they don't get the stock broken by UPS. What the hell, it is only 9k miles on the F150. But that is what I bought it for. Shoot straight, rdnck.

I have 7 Shiloh rifles and 3 CPA rifles Big timber is around 1300 +- miles and Dingmans Ferry is 900 +- through some of the worse traffic getting there. I would not want to have a rifle shipped to me from some of the horror story's and foot prints I have seen on rifles shipped to a FFL.
Just my way. Besides I like the trip between Alaska and the lower USA I made made that trip several times and never tire doing it.

[buffalocannon]

Skywagon, I drove the Alcan back in 1963, pre-pipeline and in time for the Big One in 1964. It was a lot different back then. It is a piece of cake now, what with all the road improvements, stores, motels, towns and gas stations. A long drive but beautiful scenery!

[Don McDowell]

Just curious why you guys are trying to brow beat someone into driving to Big Timber, when the windchills are at dangerous levels, roads go from impassable to really crappy driving conditions in just a matter of moments?
Holy shit boys, there are hundreds of rifles gets shipped every day with no damage,
