The Pedersoli Rolling Block John Bodine is a .45-70 Government rifle with a heavy 30-inch octagonal barrel (Pedersoli part no. 010S820457). Remington offered custom rifles with set triggers in the late 1800s to meet the demands of target shooters and hunters, and Pedersoli built this version around a double set trigger for long-range competition. The barrel has a matte blue finish, and the walnut stock has a comfortable pistol grip. The forend has an inlaid German silver cap. A Universa Long Range Creedmoor sight completes the package. It is part of the Pedersoli lineup.
