I paid off my rifle so I have 14-16 months to plan for sights and drill and tap.

Talk with other Shiloh Sharps shooters.

If you’re sure you’re going to stick to “friendly” competition only, check with your local BP match director and ask whether you can shoot with them even if your rifle is a little overweight. Most of them would be glad of a new shooter and willing to ignore small technicalities.

You wouldn’t be able to do this at a big match, of course, but I would bet than your local club would be happy to let you shoot.

To quote good friend Powderburner "Only 1 gun and they are Shiloh 74's" that is crux of your situation no one can have just one as one size doesn't fit all. You want a rifle that looks like an 1870's buffalo gun for target shooting, gee that has never happened before either good luck, you need it. Bobw
