Quigley Down Under is a 1990 Western starring Tom Selleck as Matthew Quigley, an American frontiersmen and sharpshooter who travels down to Australia of the mid-19th Century to accept a job from a wealthy rancher (Alan Rickman) to use his skills in the outback.

The film was directed by Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove). Note: While some promotional materials state that the film takes place in the year 1860 (which would make numerous firearms in the film anachronistic), there are no direct references to the exact date in the actual movie.

Shiloh Sharps 1874 Long Range Rifle

Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) uses a Shiloh Sharps 1874 Long Range rifle with a 34" barrel (4"s longer than a standard 30" barrel) converted to fire a .45-110 metallic cartridge with a 540 grain paper-patch bullet. It has double set triggers, and is fitted with a ladder-elevated Vernier peep sight and a Globe front sight. He is an incredible sharpshooter with this rifle and often makes use of the double set triggers for more accurate shots. Sometimes he shoots from so far away, the report of the rifle is heard 2-3 seconds after the impact of the bullet (Even though sound catches up with supersonic rounds after 300-400 yards). Several times in the film the gun is shown capable of sending people airborne (some even completely flipped in mid-air!), as movie rules states a big gun must send bad guys flying. Additionally there is some excellent gun dialogue, seldom seen in most movies, in which Quigley describes his rifle to Marston.

They permit use of softer leads that would otherwise foul the bore. These softer bullets [some over 540 grains] can be designed to expand upon impact, imparting the full energy of the round to the target. Recoil of the 45-110 when loaded thusly is often described as just under "Brutal". In some circles, these are referred also to as "Paper Jacketed" bullets.

When Quigley defeats him and his two men he says, "I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." He pockets the revolver, then realizing he found a reason to use one.
