The Lyman Ideal Model Sharps Rifle

 

The new design is far more sleeker and slimmer, indeed it is probably as much as two-thirds the size of its predecessor and as a consequence, is significantly lighter in its overall weight. It is especially handy for those of a smaller build, who maybe sometimes struggle a little with the heavier guns.

 

Loading of the weapon is a relatively simple procedure, with a basic operation to swing the trigger-guard lever down to expose the breech. The trigger can also be used in the unset position, but obviously with a need for great care. The rifle can take some getting used to, especially with its lightweight design, but on the whole it has received some excellent reviews.
