	Does anybody know the history and data on that beautiful Remington Rolling Block rifle on the ASSRA home page. It appears to be a No.1 action. Are there any more photos of the rifle? I would like to see the complete rifle.

	I hope the owner will post photos of it for all to enjoy. I would like to buy a back copy of the journal it appeared in or a reprint.

	Having an index from Byron Goff is a handy thing. The rifle is on the cover of Volume 56 Issue 6 and there is an article and more pictures starting on page 30. The cover description is a Remington Long Range in 44-77 it is thought to be a Remington factory sample because of its deluxe engraving. 40 Rod

But even those who aren't fans, or don't find them appealing, would appreciate that one!
