Made it to the range today with the new Sharps and loved it. A pleasure to shoot. Only drawback was the front sight blade was so thin my old eyes lost it against dark targets. 100 yard steel was in grave danger though.
As soon as I find proper screws a Lyman #2 tang sight will be mounted along with a spirit level front globe sight.

Cool! The sights will help! I see an 1895 in the background!!

Mr elk Creeks pride and joy and quite fun to shoot if I do say so.

NEEEEEEEAT!

Maybe just a basic 17A on the front? Seems appropriate for a sporting rig like that.

Recoil? Even perceptible?

I was going to use a spirit level I had but turns out C.Sharps does not use a 3/8ths dovetail so it doesn't fit. So I'll be ordering one from Sharps that is basically a 17A without the replaceable reticles.
As for recoil, not perceptible at all.

Pretty cool.

Glad you got it working

Very NICE

That looks to be just stupid fun....oh yeah...you suck...

The 1895 is a browning 30-06. I love that rifle!
