Chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government caliber, this rifle is engineered for those who appreciate the balance of precision and strength, making it a favored choice among long-range shooters, hunters, and collectors alike. Uberti, renowned for its commitment to historical accuracy and quality, has crafted the 1874 Sharps Down Under to meet the expectations of both traditionalists and modern enthusiasts.

The Uberti 1874 Sharps Down Under is equipped with a double-set trigger system, a feature that distinguishes it from many other rifles in its class. This trigger system allows the shooter to set the trigger to a lighter pull weight before taking the shot, enabling greater control and precision. For those accustomed to traditional single-stage triggers, the double trigger may take some getting used to, but it offers a significant advantage when maximum accuracy is required. The set trigger can be adjusted to release with minimal pressure, reducing the likelihood of disturbing the rifle's aim at the moment of firing. This feature is particularly valuable in long-range shooting, where even the slightest movement can affect the shot's outcome.

Uberti has paid meticulous attention to the details in the design and construction of the 1874 Sharps Down Under. The rifle’s wood and metal components are crafted to high standards, with finishes that not only enhance its durability but also add to its aesthetic appeal. The rich grain of the hardwood stock complements the deep bluing of the barrel, creating a rifle that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to shoot. The rifle’s overall design is faithful to the original Sharps model, making it an excellent choice for those who value historical authenticity.
