Remington No. 1 Rolling Block Creedmoor .45-110 Sharps Single-Shot Rifle, 34.5-Inch Heavy Octagon Barrel
This antique Remington Creedmoor rifle combines the famed No. 1 Rolling Block action with a custom 34.5-inch heavy octagon barrel chambered in .45-110 Sharps.

Remington built the Creedmoor series to dominate 1,000-yard black-powder competition, and this rifle follows that pattern with a full-octagon heavy barrel that adds stability shot to shot. The barrel’s 34.5-inch length optimizes velocity from the long .45-110 case, a cartridge favored by 19th-century long-range marksmen.
The strong rolling-block single-shot action offers a simple, robust lock-up, complemented by an external hammer and a crisp single, non-set trigger. A wind-gauge globe front sight pairs with a Vernier tang rear sight, giving precise, repeatable adjustments for both elevation and windage—essential for serious distance work.
Walnut furniture features a straight-grip stock and matching forend. An oval inlay in the buttstock is neatly engraved ".45-110," providing quick caliber identification without detracting from the rifle’s clean lines. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches, delivering a comfortable fit for most shooters.
As an antique produced in the late 19th century and customized for .45-110 Sharps, this rifle offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of Creedmoor history while retaining practical capability for black-powder target disciplines.
