Remington 40x Sporter Repeater 22 LR
This is the holy grail of Remington collectors as well as rimfire collectors. These rifles are extremely rare and have only ever seen a few pop up for sale in the last 20 years. With very little information online about them most don’t even know they exist. These are usually a once in a lifetime type of gun some spend years trying to find. I know the price seems outrageous and it is a little to get attention if you are a serious buyer I’d be more than willing to talk better numbers. Like I said to some the is the Holy Grail of rimfire Remingtons and are extremely rare. The only reason I’m selling is because I need the money more than a museum piece if you have any questions please feel free to text me at 208-243-5536 this really could be a once in a lifetime gun. If you don’t believe me do some research on them specifically the sporter repeater not single shot or bull barrel ones those are way more common.

* Stock: Features a checkered walnut stock with a Monte Carlo comb, raised cheekpiece, and often a rosewood grip cap and forearm tip.

* Condition: These rifles are known for superior fit and finish, often described as "deluxe" compared to standard utilitarian target rifles.
