Mike, post this picture over on the Remington Society of Amaerica web site under pre-1898 rifles. That should wake the rolling block boys up!

Good idea, but not sure anything will wake them up over at the Remington society, if you will look at some of the post regarding Creedmoor and long-range questions, no answers. I could be wrong but I believe there are several Remington things in the works for publication and the exchange of information will be very limited. This is a very, IMO, important rifle, I believe that it may have belonged to Colonel John Bodine and is pictured in the woodcut of the Creedmoor team of 1875.
