This Remington Rolling Block rifle was built by Davide Pedersoli of Italy. The 30" octagon barrel is chambered for the long lasting and ever popular .45-70 Government round. Stocked in walnut, the rifle has a pressed checkered pistol grip and schnabel forend. The rifle is used with a repaired wrist and refinished stock. The rifle is fitted with a 6x William Malcolm telescope. With an overall weight of 12.05 pounds this rifle is best suited for its intended purpose, as a match rifle. The trigger reach of 14-1/2 inches combines with the weight to make this rifle suitable only for today's larger sized shooter, someone over 6' in height. We have this rifle on display, ready for same day shipment on receipt of your funds and signed copy of your favorite dealer's FFL license.

Our front view shows the Sporting Rifle buttplate, single trigger, and classic appearance of the Remington Number 1 Rolling Block Action, as replicated by Davide Pedersoli. Much stronger than a Trapdoor Springfield, the factory recommends shooting factory ammunition, but we prefer black powder hand loads, for economy, accuracy, compliance with club match rules, and the pleasure of doing it the old way. The walnut stock has been refinished to a medium brown with semi-gloss finish. The right side of the wrist has two repaired cracks extending back from receiver and the upper tang inlet has been glass bedded. We also note a large gap all the way around the wrist where the buttstock meets the receiver. The tang is drilled and tapped for a tang sight. No tang sight is included. The blued buttplate stands slightly proud of the wood, and we note a small chip in the stock at the tip of the comb extension.

Measuring 30" in length the octagon barrel has a bright clean bore that has been well maintained. The left quarter flat of the barrel is marked with the Pedersoli model markings and caliber. The bottom flat is marked Dixie Gun Work / Tennessee in two lines just ahead of the forearm. The telescope is marked Wm Malcolm 6x and has a 3/4" diameter blued steel tube that measures 35" long end-to-end. The ends are threaded for brass dust caps. The Pedersoli rear scope mount is adjustable for both windage and elevation.

The Number 1 action has a grooved face on the hammer spur and breech block spur. This single shot rifle has a strong mainspring, yet a smooth crisp trigger release. It will be enjoyable to shoot. This is a replica of the later style Number 1 action, with rotary extractor, for positive cartridge extraction. The hammer and breech block are blued steel. Color case hardened the action is a blue background with various swirls of gray and purple coloration. Made with near perfect symmetry, only the finger spur of the breech block is offset to the right. Thus, this rifle is equally comfortable for a right or left hand shooter.

The bore is clean and bright, in perfect condition. This rifle will require load development, and fine tuning, for serious target competition. We enjoy casting bullets, hand loading black powder cartridges, and enjoyable afternoons at our local 100, 200, 400, and 600 yard range.
