My Father originally ordered this in the mid nineties and fired it less than a hundred times. 6 Months ago he gave me the rifle and Frank Sellers book “Sharps Firearms” (I’ve had my eye on it ever since he ordered it and has been on my list to get one). I was curious about the differences regarding the two makers so I started to ask questions.

Shiloh uses in house investment cast actions and rifles their barrels using the button method. Shiloh makes the entire rifle on site.

C. Sharps use milled actions from another company. They use Badger Barrels that are rifled using the cut method. C. Sharps assemble and finish rifles on site.

Personally, I feel that Shiloh’s methods are more along the line of mass production like Ruger’s. Ruger pioneered the investment casting process to reduce overall cost through increased production. I’ve owned many and for mass production guns, they turn out some of the best.

On the other hand, I feel C. Sharps takes a closer to custom hand made approach, which results in a finer overall rifle.

If you go to a BPCR shoot, you will more than likely see more Shiloh’s than any other make. Ask anyone how they like the Shiloh and you will here nothing but great things about them and the company and the same holds true for C. Sharps.

Therefore, what’s the real difference well, that depends entirely on personal taste and opinion. One thing is for sure your money won’t be wasted and you’re not likely to be disappointed since their the best made Sharps in the world.
