I didn't say a Sharps rifle, I said to check the Winchester copy made by C. Sharps.

But at their price, you could buy a Uberti, throw away the barrel, and have a stock for "free."

I was leafing through Cartridges of the World and saw some interesting pre-99 cartridges.
It said the 6.5x57 Mauser was introduced as soon as 1893 or 1894, soon followed by a 6x57 in 1895. Even better, like many Mauser rounds, they were also offered in rimmed versions for single shots and combination guns.
