What a beauty, and it does group very well.

 

Consistent Accuracy...

Stuff' - I did a quick calc. on your 40XB Sporter accuracy, and throwing out the 'high' and 'low' CTC's for the remaining 5 groups, its accuracy comes in at 0.27" CTC @ 50yds. !!! Just like I'm getting on mine!

These sporters are 'consistenly' very, very accurate. :bthumb:

They do shoot awful good! That first group was fired from a clean barrel. She settled in pretty good with a little fouling :bthumb: Not only are the 5 shot groups good, the placement on the target is also consistent.

In all fairness they are borderline "sporters" in my eye. They're either a chunky sporter or a skinny target rifle. They sure are fun to shoot either way!

 

This is the rare Vaver Sight for the model 37

Definitely a nice sight (and very hard to find for a model 37, as you said). I have a couple of them on other rifles and I really like them.

 

This is the early trigger

504 C, not 740. Sorry.

 

CMP 40X HB Pics

I've never shown you guys my CMP 40X HB. It was made in 1965.

I got it in the first release of 40X's. it came w/ all the scope / sight blocks. An extremely fine shooter!

I put real Weaver bases, Burris Signature Zee rings and a Sightron 36X scope on it.

 

 

#870 wearing a tube sight It shares with one of my model 52's early un-molested 37 with all the original equipement/ accessories except for the factory screwdriver

 

3 HB 40Xs

Lance Boyle, Gary Tyner and I were lucky enough to get these 3 HB 40Xs

From CMP,. Hope the pict turns out OK. Thanks for looking.

 

'Original' Left Hand - 40XB Sporter

Below are a couple of reference pics my good friend has allowed me to show of his 'original' Rem. CS Sporter (Left Handed). Only 4 - 5 Left Handed 40X were made, and all had the RH action config.

For documentation purposes the Rem. CS stockmaker cut the walnut stock by CNC' by 'mirror-imaging' the cut parameters and leaving the ejection port relief for a std. RH action.

The avg. time necessary to create a stock for the 40XB Sporters was between 2 - 2.5 months. Very labor intensive with the mulitple steps necessary for the DuPont RK-W Gloss finish.

Mine had a home-made case too!

Yes, it came w/ a 15X Lyman STS and original manual. Rear sight is wrapped in plastic.

All this was in box too.

 

Rare 40XB Sporter/Repeater Grade 'D'

John Gyde has graciously given me the opportunity to show some pics of a 40XB Sporter/Repeater 'D' Grade he owned in his collection at one time. I believe that John mentions in his book that ~ 12 Grade 'D' and Grade 'F' 40XB Sporter/Repeaters were ever created.... This example sports the thin Pachmayr butt pad...

I cropped some of the images down to reveal the detail of the engraving that the Rem. CS performed on this rare 'D' Grade Sporter/Repeater.

Enjoy !!!

Thanks so much John for allowing us to drool a bit! :bthumb:

 

I can't believe you let that one go! Very very nice!

Thanks guys for sharing that one:bthumb:
