Just scored a nearly new condition, April 1937 production, Model 41 " Targetmaster" caliber .22.s,l,lr for the bargain price of $165.
What caught my eye is the 27 inch barrel. LOVE long barrels. A single shot bolt action .22 with a long barrel? Kryptonite...
The metal has a few trivial dings, but the bluing is 100% and a lovely plum shade. Even the cocking piece and safety have 100% of their bluing. The trigger is not a'tall bad!
However. Someone thought it wise to slop some Tru Oil on the stock... That will be dealt with shortly.
There isn't even any old fouling in the nooks and crannies! Although I wonder about fine old rifles that saw little use, I do like finding them!
Funny thing though. The only breechloaders I own ( my Model 781 Marlin and this new Remington) as .22 rimfires.
Pics to follow. I'm presently in the woods with Vixen, hoping a buck or a plump tasty wanders too close...
