Taylor & Co Sharps Business Rifle: Classic Power in a Practical Package
The Business Sharps represents a thoughtful refinement of one of America's most legendary rifle designs. This single-shot rifle chambers the potent .45-70 Government cartridge, a round that has proven itself across more than 150 years of hunting and marksmanship.
Design and Construction
Taylor & Co has engineered this model with the working shooter in mind. The 28-inch octagonal barrel strikes an excellent balance between velocity and handling—shorter than traditional Sharps rifles, yet long enough to extract full performance from the .45-70. The lighter overall weight makes this rifle more practical for extended shooting sessions and field use without sacrificing the accuracy and power the platform is known for.
Classic Aesthetics
Authentic walnut furniture and a schnabel forend deliver the timeless appearance that makes Sharps rifles instantly recognizable. This is not a modern tactical rifle; it is a purposeful tool that respects the heritage of American shooting sports.
Ideal For
- Long-range target shooting and competition
- Hunting medium to large game
- Shooters who appreciate historical rifle design
- Those seeking a single-shot rifle with proven stopping power
The Business Sharps combines historical authenticity with practical improvements, making it an excellent choice for experienced shooters and those new to single-shot rifles alike.
