When I was 13 my dad bought me a 550-1, that’s been a while, 1962 or so lol. Anyway that was one fine rifle that was accurate as all get out. I never had to adjust the rear sight. I dearly loved that rifle then one day right after my wife and I moved we came home and someone had broke in to the house and stole nearly every gun I had and only missed my dads colt trooper and my model 29. It broke my heart. That was 1980. It was stupid not to have a safe and I hate to admit it. Anyway couple years ago I saw this Remington 550-1 on gun broker and I paid $275 for it, first think I did was clean it with kerosene to get any dirt out of it then took it to the range, shoots just like my old one and doesn’t skip s beat. Best 22 rifles ever made, my opinion . Glad you found one for yourself.
