If I could afford it I would have a Quigley down under rifle.even before that movie I've always liked a single shot big bore with a nice sight.

Got one of those in 45-70 nice rifle, what I really want is 105 howie. Always liked the big bores.

I believe that's one of those gross, unredeemable and utterly disgusting cartridge guns and belongs in the category of things never to be talked about.

Each to his own. The question was asked and an answer given.

Sharps, aand rolling blocks are pretty neat, I couldn’t begin to play with all the guns I would love to own.
Our member @Rifleman76 Frank Fusco won a rifle at ge Bicentennial Friendship shoot in ‘76. My mother didn’t have any gold teeth I could have sold to get it.and I didn’t have any children myself so my first born was out.
It isn’t the most beautiful gun I’ve ever seen, though it’s gorgeous, but it’s just special
I tried to talk Frank in to adopting me, he just laughed

Sorry don't know what I was thinking. Black powder is all I was thinking. Did mean to put a non mentionable on here.

What Springer was trying to say was that this is a muzzleloading forum and we don’t discuss cartridge firearms here. There are plenty of other places to talk about Quigley rifles.

Just remember the heavy barreled, scoped American bench rifle had no equal until the advent of quality smokeless powder.....

There was one in the original Quig caliber on display at a shop I used to frequent; I'd guess maybe the Pedersoli is still available in that caliber? Bet it would cost a couple grand if still being offered.

I always liked the idea of getting the "mostest" with the "leastest" so a .45 was the very first AND the second one in my gun safe. I like the .54 but it isn't really needed along the eastern seaboard. I used the .54 and a .62 on deer and they were splendid; but no more so than my .45. Therefore I committed to the .32 and .36 for anything smaller than deer.

i really like my 50's, 54's etc. but i find my .45's in my hands most of the time. just a pleasure to shoot and seemingly very forgiving. and i need forgiving!!
