Because you could make a down payment on a house for what they list for ?
Now that that's out of the way, Carbine or traditional buffalo gun ?

fixed for you.  I can't watch it anymore, it just leads to want, want leads research, research leads to buying, and buying is the way to the doghouse.   My wife is very forgiving about my purchases, but ones like the shilo are up there with her getting a new car.

Of course the capital outlay is something, but decent upkeep in ammo isn't going to be cheap either.

You could go with a David Pedersoli Sharps. They are very beautifully crafted, a LOT less expensive, come in a variety of different configurations and calibers, and you don't have to wait until the second coming of Christ to get one.

Reloading equipment for a Sharps is cheap, a tablespoon and funnel.

Years ago Cabela's carried the Pedersoli-made Quigley rifle for around $1800.00.


I never get tired of that movie....even with its obvious errors (like bullets knocking men six feet rearward).....just a decent all around show.

The black powder 45/70 is actually a pretty mild shooting round when you compare it to many of the modern ones.
Compared to a 458 or 375 it's a pussy cat.

Most of the guys in our area are shooting the after market versions in .45/70.  Beautiful and very accurate, and affordable to top it off.  My latest expansion of hobby started a few years ago, and last night I figured out that I am about $2,500 into it.  It will eventually include three more rifles with the .45/70 being one, but that will round up to at least $3,500 in wood and steel alone.
