re: help back_up rifle
Hi all,a few weeks ago I asked what rifle to get to back_up my Shiloh if something would break during a match,either a John Bodine rolling block or another Shiloh. In responce to that question most said I would not be happy with anything less than a Shiloh. I took the advice of the forum,and just recieved my new,used Shiloh in the mail. My new used is a #1 sporter semi-fancy wood,heavy-half barrel,pewter tip and even though it was owend for over a year it was never fired. Thanks for the great advice.

Did the same thing for the Hartford I use as a hunter and a backup to my #1. Shopped around until I found one in similar condition as yours at a decent price. I use the same bullet set up for both guns with excellent success. Shilohs all the way from now on.....still shopping around for another!!
Shiloh #1!
Guns:
45 - 70 #1 Sporter, 30 inch heavy octagon with MVA mid range soule and MVA spirit level sights
45-70 Hartford Model, 30 inch heavy octagon with Axtell Hartford Transition and MVA combination sights [the hunter!!]

MudChild,
I can't comment on the weight of the 30" barreled Shiloh (what cal?) but I have a Shiloh 40-65 in 28" Heavy barrel Saddle Rifle. Great rifle. Works well, with good sights, at extended ranges 800+. Weighs in at 11.5 lbs and makes weight for silouette and makes a great hunting rifle. I carried it in Wy this year but, alas, never pulled a trigger!
Got them "heel hogs" lined up for us this spring yet?

re: help back_up rifle
Hi all, my first sharps is the hartford,with presentation grade wood,steel buttplate, pewter tip,#1 heavy barrel, MVA long range soule sight and it weighs #12lbs 5 ounces according to my buddies fish scale. I have not weighed the knew # 1 but shiloh says it will make weight,and it feels lighter.
