Remington Rolling Block

[shrapnel]

I just looked at this Roller and am somewhat tempted by it. It is a gorgeous gun in incredible original condition, chambered in 40-50 Sharps bottleneck.

I have never been much of a rolling block fan, but this is hard to pass on...

Beautiful Rifle.

Stunning! For a rolling block fan like me that is like finding the end of the rainbow. Here in the desert SW I seldom see original single shot rifles, just the ones from Italy. The original I have was purchased over the internet and I could afford it because it was completely restored. CC, bluing, and the wood is stunning...but not the real deal.

If you can afford that one I would certainly encourage you to buy it, unless the Rolling Block just doesn't appeal.

PS: I'd post a picture of mine but CAScity doesn't like my photo's size and I have no clue how to reduce them...said the 21st Century Luddite.

I shoot a Sharps Bourchardt in 40-50 sharps straight. I find the round is not only incredibly accurate it is also very versatile. Using smokeless I find it very accurate from 25 yards to 200 yards though I do use different powder charges for the extreme distances. The rolling block should also make a fine addition difficult to pass up!

It also appears to have a single set trigger which is a plus!  If original it would add to the desirability of the rifle in my optinion.

I ended up buying it. Researching the rifle, I talked to Roy Marcot who wrote the book on Remington Rolling Blocks, and decided to buy it due to rarity and condition. I got 150 rounds of brass and cartridges and a set of reloading dies with it, I will be shooting it soon..

Beautiful roller.  I looked for you at Cody.  If you were there I missed finding you.

I was there, I had a bunch of nice original Winchester rifles, one which was the 50-100-450 in my table. I also had the display of the Winchester 1886 Saddle Ring Carbines...

[Blackpowder Burn]

Absolutely stunning rifle.  Let us know how it shoots.

I took it out shooting, and got these 2 groups at 200 yards. The lower three were shot first, then a small adjustment on the sight to raise it to the upper 2. With that Beech front sight, the whole silhouette is covered at that distance...
