yes they do get pricey but i kinda call them freebees from the neighbors. you see people throw away their trash and i go pick it up and recycle it and i then take the money and buy guns and ammo. so really all these guns came from the dump.lol.my wife used to tell me she ain't got the money for the guns and stuff so i just found my own way. now she did buy me the glock and the .22 ruger pistol and the .44 special. but all the rest i got from dump money. the best part is i go and buy one and sneak it in the door whaile she's sleeping . one day she asked me about a gun .she said i don't remember that one i said yea i been havin it . when really i just bought it but i then went back to the store and got the otherone that looked just like it (my highpoint carbines) and i was able to walk right in the house with it because it looks just like the otherone.lol. now as for as the sharps thats a pricey gun. i been lookin into the 45/70 round . it 's got some good knowckdown power. them old pioneers used to drop buffalo with them out to 1000 yrds easy or so they say.</p>
