.22 cal target rifle with Redfield adjustable rear sight and Redfield Globe front sight.
I started getting my retirement checks in Jan. I have no debts to speak of so I decided to treat myself to another rifle. Just got this in today’s mail. 50 years ago when I was a kid I had an older neighbor who belonged to the local gun club and he would take me shooting once a month. This was back when a box of .22’s was only .35 cents. He had a Remington Target rifle similar to this one. that he had purchased from the Rock Island Arsenal at some point in his life for $15.00. It had Redfield sights and was it ever accurate, I remember shooting the clothespins that held the targets on a string, of course that was a disruptive thing to do and that practice was quickly brought to a halt. This one was manufactured in 1966 and is in excellent condition. Now if I only had the eyes of a ten year old kid.
