The Sharps action is an icon of precision rifle design — a single-shot platform that dominated long-range hunting in the late 19th century and still commands respect among modern shooters who value accuracy and simple, repeatable mechanics. For those seeking a historically inspired rifle built for tight groups and deliberate shots, this reproduction brings classic lines and modern fit and finish to the range.
UBERTI 1874 SHARPS BUFFALO HUNTER is a reproduction engineered for extreme accuracy, featuring a heavy barrel and a high-precision peep sight favored by professional buffalo hunters; it is chambered in .45/70 Government and built by Uberti to replicate the performance that made the original Sharps famous.

Design and Accuracy
The Buffalo Hunter model emphasizes a heavy-contour barrel for thermal stability and consistent harmonics — a primary driver of group-to-group repeatability. Paired with a high-precision peep sight that allows very fine sight alignment, the platform rewards careful ammunition selection and deliberate shooting technique. As a Single Shot rifle, its straightforward lock-up and lack of feeding mechanisms reduce variables that can degrade accuracy.
Why the Sharps Pattern Still Matters
Sharps rifles were among the first to transition successfully to metallic cartridges, and the UBERTI 1874 SHARPS BUFFALO HUNTER continues that lineage by pairing historic ergonomics with contemporary manufacturing tolerances. The Uberti name is notable for high-quality reproductions that respect original dimensions while ensuring parts fit and reliability for modern shooters.
View product details and pricing — the rifle is listed at $3,193.99 and occupies the Single Shot category for shooters focused on precision rather than volume.
Caliber: .45/70 Government
The .45/70 Government is a capable big-game cartridge with proven terminal performance at moderate ranges. In a heavy-barreled single-shot like this, handloaders and match shooters can tailor velocities and bullet selection to balance recoil and ballistic performance for hunting or target work. The cartridge complements the rifle’s intent: deliberate, long-range shots where one precise round is all you need.
For shooters who prioritize historic authenticity coupled with modern production quality, the UBERTI 1874 SHARPS BUFFALO HUNTER offers a focused, precision-oriented platform.
