Made between 1880-1907 with only a few hundred produced. Named after the international rifle range on Long Island, New York. The name "Creedmoor" became synonymous among competition shooters as an extremely accurate long range rifle. This High Condition No. 3 Hepburn serial number 110, has a half octagon, round barrel. Chambered in .44 (2.6 inch). Barrel marked "E.Remington & Sons. Ilion. N.Y." Long range Vernier sight with tang and heel (stock) mounted sight base, spirit level adjustable globe front sight. Rounded pistol grip with checkering. Forearm with pewter tip. CONDITION: Excellent+ with approximately 97% original blue on barrel with light scattered oxidation. Nearly all original blue on sights. Frame is superlative, with most all of the original bright case color on both sides of frame and lever. Most all bright high polish blue on hammer and rolling block. Bore is near mint. Wood shows very little wear and has most all original varnish. All original unmolested screws. Overall a rarity in both configuration and condition, would be most difficult to improve upon. MKS
