RE: Remington No 1 Creedmoor
Good info from all. Thanks
I shoot a 45-100 ( 2.6 case) in an Axtell recreation of the Sharps 1877 No 1 Creedmoor Overbaugh (also looks identical to Elmer Kieth's 1877 45-120). So I am guessing the same would apply with the 44-100 - use the .44 sizing die to make 44-100 from 45-100 if I found one in that caliber. I was looking for an original Creedmoor rifle that was somewhat affordable. My other option is to have Shiloh make a recreation of a Sharps 1874 Long Range No 2 in 45-100 with the pistol grip checkering and 1/2 Oct barrel, everything just like two originals I have seen on the auctions for a whole lot of money. I know that's not Creedmoor style per se, but it would be different from my other rifles as would the Rolling Block. A lower priced original RB that would be not that much more than a Shiloh recreation might be doable. The two rifles that I have seen on GI are both offered by dealers in old arms not by an individual seller.
