I have been reminded of just what asshats fanbois can be

Thread started the other day by a guy asking about Pedersoli Sharps rifles.  He wanted to get a Sharps to try out; not knowing if it would be something he'd really like, he wanted to avoid spending too much money and time* getting one.

Cue the Shiloh and, to a lesser extent, C. Sharps fanbois.  Take anything ever found to have been a problem on any Pedersoli, and all their Sharps have that: "They're trash, don't waste your money, only cry once buying a Shiloh", etc.

Seems they'd rather someone either get their icon, or never shoot one.  Great attitude.




*Depending on some factors, the wait for a Shiloh can be months to a year for a basic from what I've read.

So they would either drive a Ferrari - or walk.

Something tells me they drive a prius.

Of course the real joke in all of this is that the original Sharps were built with mid 19th technology in factories of the same vintage. What do you want to bet that the Pedersoli guns are closer to spec than the original ones.
