"A reproduction Sharpes would be neat. In 45-70 smokeless."
A buddy of mine and his wife both shoot an original Sharps chambered in .45-110. Competitions take place at 800 yards, but it's all black powder. He does all of his loading with a drop tube, and FWIW, he says she's better than he is. He's one helluva leather worker, too, as evidenced by the photo. That holster is entirely hand made - one of a kind.
The M1 Garand is a fine firearm, although they're not cheap these days. My understanding from a friend (who's a 30-year retired staff sergeant) is that you have to be somewhat careful about the loads you use in it, though.

Terrific 'cowboy' leatherwork'. Lots of time involved in something of that quality and look.
I went to the DCM site and WOW. Far MORE money than I remember. And some grades not available any more. I guess I waited about 30 years too long!
Too much is never enough
