Back in the 1880s, serious long-range competitors rarely shot their rifles as they came from the factory. They tweaked barrel lengths, reshaped grips, swapped sights, and added set triggers until the rifle fit the way they shot. Davide Pedersoli built the Rolling Block Creedmoor #2 in that same spirit, taking the classic rolling block action and refining it into a purpose-built single shot for the modern black powder cartridge crowd.
The heart of this rifle is a 30-inch round barrel with a matte blued, anti-reflective finish, rifled with six grooves at a 1:18 twist that stabilizes the heavy .45-caliber bullets the .45-70 Government was designed around. The frame wears a handsome coin finish that contrasts nicely against the dark barrel and the checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forend. A double set trigger lets you break the shot with a light, crisp pull once you set it, which makes a real difference when you are holding on a distant target and trying not to disturb the sight picture. All in, the rifle runs 46-1/16 inches overall and weighs around 9.25 pounds, enough heft to soak up recoil and hold steady off cross sticks or a bench.
The rolling block action has a well-earned reputation as one of the strongest and simplest single shot designs of its era, and Pedersoli's modern manufacturing gives it consistency the originals never had. The company's rifles have racked up plenty of medals in international black powder competition, and the Creedmoor #2 is aimed squarely at that world: BPCR silhouette, long-range target matches, and historical shooting events. The tang is set up for Pedersoli's Creedmoor rear sight and the muzzle accepts a tunnel front sight with interchangeable inserts, so you can outfit it exactly the way the old-timers would have.
If a lever gun feels too modern and a Sharps is already in the safe, this rolling block is the natural next chapter. It rewards handloading, patience, and good wind reading, and it looks every bit the part while doing it.
The rifle is drilled and set up to accept Pedersoli's Creedmoor tang rear sight and a tunnel front sight with interchangeable inserts, which are the manufacturer's recommended pairing for this model. Sight packages can vary by distributor, so check your specific listing if the sights matter to your purchase. Either way, the tang-mounted Creedmoor setup is the classic choice for long-range work with this rifle.
Pulling the rear trigger sets the mechanism, which reduces the front trigger to a very light, crisp break. That light pull helps you fire without pulling the rifle off target, which is exactly why set triggers were popular on long-range rifles of the era. You can also fire using the front trigger alone without setting it, which gives a heavier, more conventional pull.
That is exactly what it was built for. The 30-inch barrel with a 1:18 twist stabilizes the heavy cast bullets favored in black powder cartridge competition, and the 9.25 pound weight helps tame recoil and steady your hold. Pedersoli rifles have a strong track record in international black powder competition, and this model carries that pedigree.
Yes, the Pedersoli rolling block is a strong, modern-made action and handles standard factory .45-70 Government ammunition. Stick with standard pressure loads rather than the hot loads intended only for certain modern lever and bolt guns, and always follow Pedersoli's guidance in the manual. Many owners get their best accuracy from black powder or mild smokeless loads with heavy cast bullets anyway.
