Remington Rolling Block 40-50 Sharps Bottleneck

It isn’t often you see an original gun of this age in this condition. It is a deluxe short range target model with tang peep and Beech folding front sight…

That is a beautiful rifle. How soon until we see photos of your first kill with it?

Beautiful rifle. I'm working on building one in 40-50 SBN for myself right now. Great little cartridge.
That looks like it has a set trigger?

Yes, it has a set trigger and the forearm is horn…

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…

Looks like it's a shooter! Those beech sight posts are usually pretty fine under the hooded portion. MVA sells several different globes..
