REMINGTON CUSTOM SHOP .45-70 ROLLING BLOCK MID-RANGE SPORTING/TARGET RIFLE, #RB02XX, MADE 2007

Description:
REMINGTON CUSTOM SHOP .45-70 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL GRIP, CHECKERED  MID-RANGE SPORTING/TARGET RIFLE, #RB02XX, MADE 2007. Here's from the Remington catalog of the time: 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
• Sights - blade front, adjustable buckhorn rear
• Trigger - single stage; single set trigger optional
• Stock - shotgun style buttstock with checkered pistol grip and checkered forend
• Overall length - 46.5"
• Weight - 8.75 pounds
• 2007 MSRP - $2665

• This example appears brand new and unfired. It comes from the Remington Custom Shop with the optional single set trigger, filler blank in the rear dovetail, long range Soule tang sight and globe front sight that will take inserts. These were made in very limited quantities and are rarely encountered today. With Remington no longer turning out rifles, these are sure to increase in value even more than when Remington was in operation.  I'm actually selling this for less than the 2007 price with optional sights, and single set trigger!
