Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What Remington rifles do you miss?

511/512/513 series .22's with the beehive bolt. I used to see a lot of 513T's on the rifle range when I was a little kid but never realized what they were until I got older. I'd love a 513S even if the bolt is on the wrong side for me.




I'd like to say I miss the Nylon 66 and while it was a ton of fun for a 14 year old, in reality the 10/22 has much more going for it over the old 66.

Ditto on the Model 141. The 760 may have been an improvement with the detachable mag and admittedly much stronger front bolt lockup, but they made it bigger and more ungainly. For a quick handling firearm with a good punch an 18" 141 carbine in .35 Remington would be (was) the cat's meow.

Same/same with a Model 121 Fieldmaster .22.

Maybe I'm just bemoaning missing out on the rifles the older guys used when I was a kid but when you pick up one a 121 or 141 or 51x you realize why the older guys today, like me, bitch about the lack of "quality" in modern rifles. Although I'm sure those older guys that I knew as a kid were probably bitching about the cheaper rifles Remington put out then...

Also a deep, rich blued finish from the '80s and the nicer stainless steel finish.

And shoots like a house afire.



I'd like a Ti.

Remington 541S
Remington Model Seven XCR
Remington LVSF

The early 700 BDL's, the custom shop C,D,F grades were very pretty though.
I'd like a 30 in a custom 416 Rigby about as much as any rifle.

541S, 541T, 40X Rimfire sporter, 700 BDL Stainless, and the Model 7 Stainless in wood stock in 223.

LVSF in 243,7mm-08.

I liked the Mod 700 Alaskan Ti and the 541T .22lr........Hb

700C, 660, both were under appreciated back in the day.

They are making the adl in blued and walnut for the 200 year anniversary now. 500 bucks or so

I miss the 725--wish to hell I'd bought one back when I was young(er), but I already had a Model 70 and just couldn't afford to own two centerfire rifles.

I've got one in 243. One of the most accurate rifles I own. I had a chance to buy both a 17 Rem and a 221 Fireball in the LVSF, and didn't do it. Believe me, I've kicked myself over that several times. I do wish Remington still made the 600/660 models. The first 243 I ever saw was a Model 600.

A close friend of mine picked up a lightly used 7 XCR for a nice price. It sat on the used rack in the gun shop because it was/is a 243. The shop owner said it wouldn't have stayed five minutes if it was a 308. The guys who passed on it really missed out.

A few years back they had the gloss grey/black LSS in 30-06 and I am still kicking myself for not getting one. And then for a short while they offered a blue LSS I think in 25-06 and I am a sucker for color... did not buy one of those either...

I don't own a Remington rifle these days, but have owned a few over the years. However, I wish they would bring back the Classic and produce a different caliber every year in a harder to find caliber. My 1st Roberts was a Classic that they made one year. Wish I still had it. Couldn't wait each year to see which caliber they would produce that year.

Was going to say M7, KS FS or AWR but I just checked and it looks like they are making something similar.

You're about as demanding of hunting rifles as Savage_99.
And you've both posted the same amount of game photos too.

I'd love to have a new Remington 14 1/2. I'd take it in 44/40 but if they were going to make it, they might as well do it in 44 mag.

You don't do a lot of paying attention then, do you dumbfuck?...
