[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1687872, member: 2736"] There are many tales of extremely long shots with the falling block. Some have merit and some are just hearsay. one of the best examples of this is Billy Dixon at Adobe Walls shot. books say the shot that unhorsed a warrior at 1538 yards. some believe it was more like 1000 yards. Ether way, it was a heck of a shot. It is believed to be a 50/90 Sharps (A common rifle for Buffalo hunting). There are other stories of the big Sharps and the rolling block Remington making unusually long shots, so back then they were the long gun of choice. Considering the technology of the day, they were very accurate (Notice I didn't use those Inherent words ;)). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
