The Taylors & Company Chiappa Half Pint Sharps .22LR rifle brings authentic Sharps rifle heritage to the .22 long rifle cartridge—a pairing that delivers genuine period charm without the recoil or expense of centerfire shooting. This 24-inch rifle splits the difference between full-size replicas and handy takedown models, making it equally at home on the bench, in the field, or displayed as a conversation piece. If you appreciate classic American rifle design and want a .22 that actually looks like something your great-grandfather might have carried, this rifle earns serious consideration.
Built on the Chiappa platform and finished in blue with a case-hardened frame, the Half Pint Sharps wears its historical inspiration honestly. The octagonal barrel, walnut stock and grip, and traditional Creedmore rear sight with front blade sight all speak the language of 19th-century rifle craft. At 5.5 pounds and 37.7 inches overall, it handles like a lithe, nimble rifle—not a lightweight, but genuinely comfortable for extended shooting sessions or light carry. Single-shot loading mirrors the authentic Sharps experience, though in .22 rimfire, you'll be able to spend a whole day at the range without your wallet staging a protest.
This is a rifle for shooters who value character and craftsmanship over tactical modularity. Whether you're zeroing for small game, teaching marksmanship, or simply enjoying the mechanics of a drop-block action, the Half Pint Sharps delivers old-school satisfaction in a caliber that won't punish your shoulder or your hearing protection budget.
