I am slowly putting together a decent collection of vintage American rimfires and really enjoy shooting them. Have managed to add period correct scopes to a couple that really adds to the enjoyment of these fine rifles.
I have found they are as accurate as anything made today and if you buy right will only go up in value. Another plus is they are full sized rifles weighing in the 8 to 10lb range.
Here they are so far, a Remington 513t from 1946, has it's original Redfield sights and a Unertl 14x Target scope. Target is a 100yd target.
Next is a Winchester Model 75 from 1941, just added a Lyman Super Targetspot 20X to it and starting to see some very good 100yd groups,
Next a Remington 40 XB that I just found a Lyman 20X Perma Center scope for, looking to be a very good shooter,
Damifinowfish just built a nice challenging 100yd steel target for me,
Shooting at that small target will really teach you breathing and how to squeeze a trigger.
I've got another one coming in a couple weeks,just won an auction for an original 1949 Winchester Model 75 Sporting rifle, vey hard to find in good original condition.
Anyone else shooting the American classic's? Post up some pics, I love seeing these rifles.
