Remington Rolling Block Model 1 from the CUSTOM SHOP! 45-70 NEW-UNFIRED!

Description:

In recent years Remington has revived the rolling block rifle in traditional centerfire calibers. For 2007 the No. 1 Rolling Block in .45-70 Government caliber is available through the Remington Custom Shop in Mid-Range Sporter (standard contour barrel) and Silhouette (heavy barrel) versions.
The Sporter combines a 30-inch round barrel with an American walnut, pistol-grip sporter stock. Cut checkering in a point pattern is applied to both forend and buttstock. The barrel and receiver have a polished, blued finish. The barrel is fitted with an adjustable, center-notch buckhorn rear sight and a front blade sight. The barrel is rifled 1 turn in 18" for smokeless powder .45-70 cartridges.
In addition to the standard version, the Mid-Range Sporter Rolling Block is also available with a number of options. These include a single set trigger; semi-fancy American walnut stock with steel Schnabel fore-end tip and steel butt plate; case-colored receiver; and a leather-bound canvas covered motor case.
Here are the basic specifications of the No. 1 Sporter:

• Order number - 27567
• Action - single shot rolling block
• Caliber - .45-70 Government
• Barrel - 30" sporter weight, 1 turn in 18" twist

The Silhouette is similar to the Sporter, but has a 1 1/8" diameter, heavy round barrel. The barrel has a dovetail for a front sight, but is supplied without sights to allow the shooter the option of after market sights. A single set trigger is standard equipment on the Silhouette rifle, which meets NRA blackpowder cartridge rifle (BPCR) silhouette requirements

These modern rolling block rifles are faithful recreations of the Remington-Rider design actually made by Remington. They are, therefore, the real thing. Although relatively expensive, they are cheaper than mint originals, and they are made with modern materials. You can plink, hunt with them, or shoot them in competition.
