Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Little Betsy 30-30 Win Rifle
Pedersoli's refined 1874 Sharps Little Betsy delivers classic single-shot accuracy in a lightweight 7.6-lb package. American walnut stock, floral-engraved frame, tunnel front sight, and folding Creedmoor rear sight.
The Classic Sharps Reimagined for the Modern Shooter
Pedersoli's Little Betsy represents a thoughtful evolution of the legendary 1874 Sharps rifle. This single-shot rifle honors the heritage of America's most famous buffalo gun while embracing the practical needs of today's discerning rifleman.
Design and Construction
The Little Betsy distinguishes itself through meticulous attention to weight and balance. At just 7.6 pounds, this rifle handles with the grace of a much smaller firearm, yet retains the strength and reliability the Sharps design is known for. Every dimension has been carefully considered—the frame side plate and barrel profiles have been rounded and refined to minimize bulk without compromising strength.
The action features a forged and CNC-machined frame with elegant floral engraving that speaks to the rifle's heritage. The 24-inch barrel is manufactured to Pedersoli's exacting PMG standards and finished in a practical matte blue that resists glare and corrosion.
Stock and Handling
American walnut provides both beauty and durability. The wood-to-metal fit is precise, and the stock's proportions complement the rifle's overall balance.
Sights and Trigger
The rifle ships with a quality sight set: a tunnel front sight and a folding Creedmoor rear sight—the same sight configuration that made the original Sharps famous for long-range accuracy. The double-set trigger allows for either a conventional pull or a hair-trigger let-off for precision shooting.
Caliber and Purpose
In 30-30 Winchester, the Little Betsy is equally at home in the field or at the range. This classic cartridge delivers reliable performance for hunting and target shooting alike.
