Hey, Bryan... How about a Browning 1885...
If you're not set on a Sharps, you might be able to talk me out of my Browning 1885 Traditonal Hunter in 45-70. I got it from Marty and I've never shot it, mainly because it is light enough that with my cast bullet long range loads I know it will kick the snot out of me. But hey, you LIKE rifles that kick the snot out of you.... I have it mainly to go with my 30-30 and 38-55 Traditional Hunters, which I really like and are FUN to shoot (and don't leave large bruises when you are done...).
Not in the same class as a Sharps, but still not a bad traditional rifle....
