Guns Magazine, July, 2002
There are many modern replicas or the famous 1874 side-hammer Sharps, but few as distinctive in feel and appearance as the new Navy Arms No. 2 Creedmore. The Creedmore is not heavy and clumsy as are many reproduction Sharps. The round, tapered 30 inch barrel and slim forend place thc point of balance right where it should he in a good off-hand rifle--just at the front of the action.
The double set triggers are a great aid to good shooting, as are the very fine sights furnished with the Creedmore: a long-range vernier tang sight with windage adjustment, a globe front sight with inserts and even a period correct open ladder sight mounted on the barrel. Accuracy is assured by the careful attention given to the manufacture of the barrel itself. These barrels are hand straightened no less than three times during the boring and rifling process.
A truly attractive rifle. the Creedmore wears gorgeous, richly grained walnut furniture with good quality checkering at the wrist and forend. A wide flat shotgun-type butt makes recoil comfortable even with heavy loads. Electroless nickel finish on the receiver not only looks stunning, but resists corrosion when firing black powder cartridges.
The Navy Arms No. 2 Creedmore is perfectly suited to Black Powder Cartridge Rifle competition, long-range Cowboy Action side-matches and hunting, as well as being a fine enjoyable rifle for an afternoon of recreational shooting. Check out the feature article on this beautiful rifle on page 60. Saddle-up and visit your local dealer.
