That has always been a bit of a dream gun for me. It's as if the shooting public just didn't seem to understand what a horrendously cool rifle Remington blessed them with, because they didn't sell well when they were made, and that's why there's so precious few of them.

By the '20's those magnificent black powder era "small bore" rounds just didn't seem to have any appeal to a shooting public enamored with the newfangled scope sighted high velocity rifles...and magnums!

But OHHH what an absolute dream of a little carbine!!! Color me jealous sir.





This, plus the same rifle in .22 LR gave the shooter a lot more bang for his buck.....
