Anybody remember what rifle he was using in Quigley (been a while since I saw it last)?

Quigley used a Sharps....you can buy copies in .45-70 through Cabelas, maybe a couple of other calibers too.

I think Seleck has the original in his collection.

Update....Sharps 1874 Repro in .45-110...three were built for the film...

I forgot about Gladiator.  Good flick...  Master and Commander.

I think its running close between a variety of John Wayne movies, and Quigley...  Anybody remember what rifle he was using in Quigley (been a while since I saw it last)?


Quigley would be using a Sharps 45-90. A company caled San Pedro? apparently got some good repros out. There's a site called www.gunblast.com that did some interesting reviews on them.
And you're forgetting "The Breakfast Club". I mean, the kid did bring a gun to school, rather ahead of its time. ;)

Pretty interesting.  The Sharps have some amazing history!  I've been drooling over one of these in 45/70 for a while now!

  Handled one at a store, but the only one they had was all dinged up from people playing with it.  Great balance and feel.  Just dont know what I'd use if for once I had it!  I dont see any moose, brown bear, or anything like that, and cant afford a safari.  Dont think I'll be doing any "Dingo" hunting either...

45/110!!!

My dad has a Sharps 45-70 Breach loader. I love shooting it. You can hear the bullet move though the air and when it hits...everything in front of it is destroyed.

Max,  "Pulp Fiction" still scares me...  That scene was creepier than Deliverance!  Ten times over!

Some people are afraid of heights, small spaces, spiders, whatever.  It's ALL good compared to being the "gimp"!

Swordfish was great, even if I can't stand John Travolta, great actor, slug of a human

Another good one is Jeepers Creepers

I loved the tag on his meat wagon "B-Eating-U"

You only liked Swordfish because Halle Berry got semi-naked in it!

Event Horizon.  I think thats the first one I havent seen.  NOW I GOTTA! ;D

Watching it now...  Fishburn is always good.  Never cared for Robert Wagner.  15 minutes in...  Boored.  Maybe another day.
