Picked up a nice Remington 241 in 22LR. I wasn't sure about it, the guy I got it from just said it was a Speedmaster. I was thinking the Remington 252 which I'd owned before and really liked. When he brought this one out I almost passed on it. But I really like this firearm. The design is amazing. I believe this is a John Browning design and the form and function are awesome. Loading port in the stock looks a little odd but works great. Very easy to use and even though it only holds 10 it's probably the easiest gun to load I've ever owned. The gun functions flawlessly with any ammo. I pulled out Fed Automatch, Remington Golden Bullets Bulk Pack, Some boxes of Federal Lightning and Remington Thunderbolt so old it had some light corrosion and $1 a box on the price tag. It shot it all flawlessly. One FTF where it snapped on it but it didn't fire. Cycled it through the next time with no issue. It even cycled some sub-sonic ammo I had! The accuracy was better than what I expected as well. Iron sights and old eyes aren't an ideal combo but I was shooting pretty respectable 25 yard groups off the bench. But the coolest thing is that the rifle breaks down into two parts. Just pull back on the button on the side of the receiver, rotate the barrel 90 degrees and it slides right out. Can be taken apart and put back together in about 10 seconds with some practice. Perfect for a camp rifle. This is my new favorite 22 rifle. Hard to believe that according to the date code on the barrel it shipped in 1939.
