On September 26, 1874 Creedmoor witnessed a crowd of over five thousand people all come to see the grand
match between America and Ireland. At 800 yards the Americans had a good lead.
The Irish gained on them at 900 yards, and by the time they had finished shooting at 1000 yards were ahead of
the Americans. In the end the match was to be determined by the very last shot fired by the Americans. Shooting
a bull’s eye at 1000 yards to score 4, the Americans emerged the winners on 934 points to the Irish team’s 931.
In commemoration of this historical match, Chiappa Firearms developed the Sharps Creedmoor model, featuring
excellent shooting precision especially for long range competition. The round barrel has a special conical
machining which ensures top target performance up to 1,100 yards (1.000 mt). Other special features of the
Creedmoor model are the diopter and tunnel front sight, the pistol grip stock and flat buttstock.
