Reportedly, a few hundred of the original Long Range "Creedmoor" Rolling Block Rifles were manufactured by Remington c. 1873-1890. 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 part octagon barrel is marked with the "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y." address on top and has a windage adjustable globe front sight with a spirit level, "44 S 100" marked on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the forend. The frame has the patent markings on the left and a long range Vernier peep sight mounted on the upper tang. Additional mounting base for the peep sight located on the top rear of the buttstock. Matching serial number "6266" marked on the bottom of the barrel beneath the forearm, on the lower tang and underside of the buttplate. The forearm is smooth and has a steel end cap, and the pistol grip stock has a checkered wrist, horn inlay, and a smooth flat steel buttplate.

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish on the barrel with some light wear areas at the muzzle, 80% plus original niter blue finish on the small parts, 70% vivid original case colors, with some scattered light freckling, and distinct markings and edges in the metal overall. Wood is very fine with defined edges, some areas of discreet filler visible at the edges behind the frame and lower tang, a few scattered minor handling marks, some nicks on top of the stock comb from the folding tang sight, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. This exceptional Remington No. 1 Long Range "Creedmoor" Rolling Block rifle would make a fine addition to any early American firearms collection!
