Remington Model 40x Target Rifle

I don't see how you could go wrong ... as long as the rifle is in good condition.
And, there are many resources available to maintain and/or restore a 40X.


Civilian Marksmanship Sales
The Remington Model 40X is a single shot, .22LR bolt action rifle.
Overall length is 46.5 inches.
Barrel 28 inch - 6 groove.
Available in both heavy and standard barrels.
The heavy barrel model has a barrel diameter at the muzzle of 7/8"
and the sporter model measures ¾' at the muzzle.
REMINGTON MODEL 40X TARGET RIFLE
All of these rifles are returns from JROTC and have been in use for decades.
Rifles are sold without sights.
A limited number of sights are available (while quantities last)
on the CMP Estore at the "parts surplus" tab.

I bought a Ural from a member about a month ago and shot it last week with Wolf Target and got a .3 inch 5 shot group at 50 yards. My brother's group was even better I have never shot anything so accurate. I ordered a HB 40x this afternoon and will be surprised if it shoots that well.

So many old classic target rifles for sale.......and too little money in the Swiss camp......:(
I got to check out an old beat up 40X from a club I use to be a member of & had it for 3 years.
I loved that rifle, it was the late 50's model.
The lightest the trigger pull would go down too was 2 lbs.
The Ural would have the edge there.
