The following list of Shiloh Sharps includes only rifles that are in stock for immediate delivery or have actually gone “active.” This means they are either in production or are scheduled to be in production in the immediate future. The due dates are based on a production time of approximately 3-5 months from the time the paid orders go “active” (activation means the rifles are on the floor being built at the Shiloh factory). This is approximate, but usually is within a few weeks (before or after) the estimated due date. With the exception of additional sights, specs on these rifles cannot be changed. The prices shown are DELIVERED PRICES. They are based on the current 2025 catalogue price plus Federal Excise Tax (charged by Shiloh on all orders), shipping crates/packing ($90 charged by Shiloh) and $95-$160 for Oversize UPS (standard ground, fully insured and signature required delivery). Note: If Shiloh raises prices, my price has to go up the same amount. There are NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES. Remember, Shiloh is currently in a long backorder situation on orders.
A NOTE OF EXPLANATION CONCERNING MY $200 FEE:
I am often asked how I set my fees. Basically, here is the answer. If you were to place your own order with Shiloh, you’d put down a $250 deposit on each rifle. About 20 or more months later you would be notified that full payment is required to begin making your rifle (there would also be an excellent possibility of price increases during this time which you would pay). From there you’d wait another 6 months or more for your rifle to be completed. This is where I come to the rescue! I’ve already put down tens of thousands of dollars in deposits at Shiloh for a multitude of future rifles. I am constantly paying for rifles to be built- nicely appointed custom rifles of which most shooters would be delighted to take delivery. I have fronted this time and money for the customer. So, for my $200 fee, you’ll save nearly 2+ years of back order, not encounter any future price increases, not pay the full amount of your rifle until it is completed, and be shooting your rifle while other Shiloh customers are playing the waiting game!

1) Once again, I have contracted with Shiloh to make a very limited run of only TWELVE (12) non-catalogued special “DELUXE LIGHT HUNTING RIFLES.” These rifles will all be in .50-70 (1 3/4″ case) caliber with non-catalogued 24″ standard half-octagon barrels and double set triggers. They will have straight stocks of semi-fancy walnut, steel shotgun butt plates, cheek pieces with accent lines, pewter tips, brass escutcheons and full buckhorn rear sights (tangs are drilled and tapped for any sights you might want to add). These unique Shilohs are a little longer than carbines, but shorter than typical sporters and should make for ideal hunting rifles that you can carry in the field without lugging around a lot of unnecessary weight. Weight is approx. 8 3/4 lbs. These rifles are arriving now and I have a few in stock that are not spoken for and ready to ship! Note: the .50-70 case is now a legal hunting cartridge in many Mid-Western states- check your regulations. Total delivered price including Federal Excise tax, the shipping case/box Shiloh provides, oversize fully insured and signature required UPS shipping, my fee etc. $4195. (ONLY A FEW LEFT)
