   The manufacturer’s site shows prices around $1,392 for a variety of calibers from .22LR to .45LC, and $1,495 for .17HMR and .218Bee.

   Very beautiful guns. Oh to have the cash to have these works of art hanging on the wall.

   Stevens “Crack Shot” or “Favorite” anyone? The tang sight is wrong for that rig. An old fashioned “V” notch with zero-200 yard adjustment would give same hole groups. Just like great grand Paps old Stevens did. Its a common mistake of company’s building “retro” 19th century guns today. They think too modern, and don’t understand WHY the old boys ordered there rabbit/deer rifles with the sights that they chose. Peep sights are not always the best choice.

     Those V notch sites were cheap. That is why they came with the basic guns.

     They work well if you have excellent eyes.

     Most guns were not special ordered.

       BTW. Before the advent of FFL’s and the rise of anti-gun laws. Almost all firearms were “custom” to a greater or lesser degree, and most firearms in the 19th and early 20th century’s were “Mail Order”. At close range and in dusk/dark conditions “V” notch are better than peep sights. “V” sights came with most guns in the black powder era because they had effective ranges under 300 yards. Most having a trajectory like a rainbow above 100 yards with BP loads. That Mini-sharps would be a lot more fun with a “V” notch “Winchester” type ladder sight.
