I just looked at this Roller and am somewhat tempted by it. It is a gorgeous gun in incredible original condition, chambered in 40-50 Sharps bottleneck.
I have never been much of a rolling block fan, but this is hard to pass on…

Oh my my !!!! Today (and today only) I'm glad I don't live in MT.
If the price is right, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Nice!
If you don't buy it you'll be sorry.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
Yeah that’s real nice!

Nice looking rifle. Can you find brass for it?
GREAT rifle
Get it, shoot it, enjoy it
Mike
p.s. as for brass, 45-70 is easy to get

How much does he want for it all?

The Winchester is no slouch either...
That's a very valuable Rolling Block, and if you have the funds, I'd be all over it, unless the price is stupid high! Ones like that, in that configuration, with single set trigger, and pistol grip, checkered high grade stocks are extremely desirable!
$8500.00
Probably a fair price, but I wouldn't call that a bargain price. But it is where they seem to be offered for in recent years.
Beautiful Rifle. Is it sinful to lust for one like that? If it is, I'm doomed.
I did buy it. After researching it and talking to Roy Marcot who actually did write the book on Remington Rolling Blocks, I decided to get it. It came with 150 rounds of brass and cartridges and a set of reloading dies.
I will be shooting it later today…
That is sweet!
That’s a super rifle! You can always get more money, good old guns are hard to find. Ever notice our regrets is usually what we did not buy rather than what we did.
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…
