I'm looking to expand my pre-1900 home arsenal and need a arsenal for a single shot rifle.

Right now a Shiloh Sharps in .45-70 looks pretty good, but reading Venturino's book, I'd look at Winchester or Remington as well.

I'm looking at an unlimited budget, have reloading skills, and want the best rifle for 100-300 yards. I might be going for an old school telescopic sight in the future.

I always enjoy the stuff on the box o' truth, and the bit on the Shiloh, and when he brings it out for other articles, is a fun read: http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu14.htm.

Other than being a dreamer, that's the best I can do if you've not been there.

You make Quigley sad. Ladder sights and sliding breech blocks FTW!
Besides, you can get army men and pretend they're loading artillery shells!
