That's exactly the one I bought. I'm an enthusiast of guns of the old west, and could never in a million years be able to afford a Sharps, not even an Italian copy.
The H&R Buffalo Classic likewise was out of my reach, but the New England Firearms Handi Rifle was able to happen.
I named her Big Mama Thump. I'm going to have to learn to reload because it's about $2 per trigger squeeze.
So far I have shot Black Hills 405 grain lead flatnose, and Remington 300 grain JHP. It doesn't kick as bad as one might think, about like a 12 ga Pardner.
I put a leather sling on her to use as a shooting aid when firing offhand, and a nylon butt cuff that holds 9 spare rounds. I really want one of those lace-on leather shell holders, give the Ol' Gal some class.
