Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Originally patented by E. Remington & Sons in the 1860s, the Rolling Block design represents one of the strongest, simplest, and most successful single-shot action architectures in firearms history. Renowned for its extraordinary action strength and fast lock time, the Rolling Block platform became a favorite among late 19th-century buffalo hunters and long-range Creedmoor match competitors. Crafted in Gardone Val Trompia by premier black powder and vintage cartridge arms maker Davide Pedersoli, this high-grade reproduction faithfully honors that target heritage. Built around a solid steel color case hardened receiver housing a robust rolling breech block, it features a heavy 30-inch octagonal barrel chambered in the classic .45-70 Government cartridge. Outfitted with precision target sights and a double set trigger system, Pedersoli's Rolling Block Target rifles are globally celebrated by BPCR (Black Powder Cartridge Rifle) competitors and precision marksmen for match-winning accuracy and exquisite European bench-grade fit and finish.
This specific example is an authentic Italian-manufactured Davide Pedersoli Rolling Block Target Rifle chambered in .45-70 Govt, bearing serial number R010228 and imported by Navy Arms Co. Outfitted in full Creedmoor target trim, it features a 30-inch heavy octagonal blued steel barrel, vivid color case hardened receiver, double set triggers, fine hand-checkered walnut pistol grip target stock, target globe front sight, and a precision Creedmoor vernier peep sight mounted directly to the wrist tang. The factory blued barrel finish and case hardened frame present in pristine overall condition throughout, displaying sharp barrel stampings and striking color case patterns. Mechanically, the rolling block breech mechanism locks up tight, the double set triggers break with ultra-light match precision, and the 30-inch heavy target barrel bore is mirror-bright with razor-sharp rifling. An exceptional, long-barrel .45-70 target rifle for BPCR competitors, single-shot enthusiasts, and historic shooting collections.
