Think it was 2150 or so.
The Boss at Tamiami would give me free Remington 510 ammo and range time if I helped out whenever anyone, that had never fired a newly bought rifle, needed to learn to shoot.
One of the clerks in the store, with the Remingtons, hit the X at 75ft on his first round. The next 10 never hit the small target. His shoulder was black&blue.
Bought that old No.1V for the stocks |
I've been shooting a No. 1 in .458 for 42 yrs now. Love the gun, about a 1.25 MOA gun off the bench. Near presentation grade wood, excellent trigger.
These days I shoot more "plinking" loads with Trail Boss and toss in some medium heavy stuff just for grins.
An octagonal barrel would also be elegant on the No. 1 action. Don
