Anyone have any experience with these, I got my heart set on an 1874 sporter with a 32" barrel. These are the only guys that fit my budget. Anyone have any nightmares or are they a decent sharps replica? Appreciate any info guys.

I have also been looking for a 1874 Sharps replica. I have been looking for a Pedersoli Billy Dixon model for about six months now, but can't find one to buy.

I have handled the IAB,EMF,and Taylor&Co replicas. All are decent rifles,and have good fit and finish. I have heard alot of complaints on some of the metal parts being too soft (trigger parts,springs,and pins).

I have handled a few Pedersoli also (just not the one I what). I must say they are a cut above the rest. On the ones I have seen the fit and finish is great and over all apperance is excellent. I have never heard or read any real compliant on this rifle.
