The IFG Pedersoli 45-70 Rolling Block John Bodine 34" rifle is a faithful reproduction of a classic American single-shot built on proven 19th-century mechanics. Pedersoli rifles are renowned worldwide for meticulous craftsmanship and mechanical reliability—this .45-70 rolling block combines historically accurate features with modern manufacturing standards. If you're hunting big game, competing in long-range rifle matches, or collecting period-correct reproductions, this rifle delivers authentic performance with the fit and finish that separates Pedersoli from mass-produced alternatives.
The John Bodine model centers on a 34-inch octagonal barrel in .45-70 Government, chambered with a 1×18 twist rate and 6 grooves—a ballistic spec designed for the heavy, slow velocities the cartridge excels at. The case-hardened receiver pairs with a walnut checkered pistol-grip stock and forearm, while a German silver cap adorns the forend inlet. The double-set trigger system offers shooters a light, crisp break for precision work, whether at the bench or in the field. Overall length comes in at 50.88 inches, and the rifle weighs 12.55 pounds—substantial, but manageable for a rifle of this class.
The package includes two quality sights: a Long Range Creedmore rear sight (#USA430) and a tunnel front sight (#USA469-R). These are working sights meant for actual use, letting you shoot the rifle as intended rather than requiring aftermarket upgrades to get downrange. Single-shot .45-70 rifles have loyal followings among hunters pursuing elk and moose at moderate range, and among competitors who appreciate the simplicity and inherent accuracy of the rolling-block action. This is a rifle for shooters who value tradition, mechanical elegance, and the satisfaction of a manually operated action.
