REMINGTON MODEL 1874 CREEDMOOR No.1 LONG RANGE TARGET RIFLE

#60XX. Rifle No.1 Grade A. Caliber 44S (Means Special 44-77 and 44-90 with a 2 1/4"Bottleneck case). 34" part round/part octagonal barrel. The wooden stock (American walnut) appears to be untouched; complete with shotgun style buttplate, pistol-grip with sharp checkering, correct numbered long range Remington Vernier folding tang sight and a correct hooded wind gauge target style front sight. Mint bore. Only a few hundred of the original Long Range "Creedmoor" Rolling Block Rifles were manufactured by Remington c. 1873-1890, the great majority between 1874 and 1878. These were among the finest target rifles of the 19th century and certainly among the finest 19th century arms manufactured by the Remington factory. The No.1 Creedmoor Rifles were Remington's crowning achievement in the Golden Age of long-range target shooting in America. General George Armstrong Custer owned Creedmoor Long Range No.1 #3333. This is very possibly the best one I've ever seen; it has virtually all the bright vivid case colors as well as all of the high gloss blue. Absolutely outstanding and in a as-new condition.
