You have a real jewel there. The 341 was manufactured for only four years (1936-1940) and sold into the early 40s, so it's pretty rare. It was replaced by the Remington 500 series rifles, 510,511,512,550 etc., which had a common receiver and were cheaper to manufacture.

Remington 341-P SportMaster

I can't wait to hear how it shoots. I think you have a tack driver.
Got one a few years ago from a co-worker. It was a relatives rifle found in an attic. Stored there over 20 years as far as he knew, could have been longer. Rust all over it, but the bore was OK. If I was to refinish it the stampings would be gone. It shot great. Paid $40 for it. The hole by itself was me and old eyes.

I have my dads 341 that was given to him upon his return after World War II by his dad, my grand father. The reason for the gift was my grandfather had my dads Remington 34 in his truck after dad left for the war and it was stolen. Dad always said he liked his 34 better but not that big of a change. This was the first firearm I ever shot as a kid growing up and they are very accurate. Needless to say mine is priceless.

Great piece. I shoot its predecessor, the M34P. Wickedly accurate with a fine, fine trigger.
This is a fun, fun rifle to shoot!!
So, I haven't touched a firearm since I was about 9 yrs old. My dad used to take us out to the old train trestles for target practice on soda cans. Now I'm 40 yrs old, and dad is 73. Dad has a heart condition and he was in hospital last week. Whole time in there, he told of how he wanted to try out his new 308 rifle. So, I promised we'd go to the range to try it out, and he suggested we start with the .22 rifle. I said, 'that sounds like a good idea' ... Dad's .22 is an old 341-p in perfect condition blue as it is true and not a scratch on the stock. The peep sight is just about as cool as it gets!! So much fun! The bolt action as smooth as a summer breeze. We had more fun with that old .22 than we could stand. I didn't get any tight clusters, but I turned that target into swiss cheese at 100 yards. If you want some leisurely, good old country style target shooting this little rifle can't be beat, update --- as I was typing this, without me knowing, my dad went down to the local pawn shop to buy me a .22 ... he ended up getting a 500 series remington. He called me over to his house and gave me the 341-p just now .. I was speechless, and he wouldn't take no for an answer --best day ever .. so cool!

I picked one up a few years ago under similar circumstances. If you look on the underside of the left barrel in front of the forearm you might find a serial number, mine has one.

White Coyote: What a nice find! I have a 341-P but it's a bit beat up. It belonged to my brother, a farmer in Iowa, and he sometimes carried the rifle on his tractor for rabbits and pheasants while picking corn in the fall. I learned to hunt rabbits and shoot a rifle an the farm at age 12 using his 341-P. When my brother died of a heart attack in 1987 I bought the rifle from his wife.
I knew this rifle was manufactured between 1936 and 1940 but didn't know how to determine what year until I read on this forum. My 341-P has a "EE" so it would have been manufactured in October 1936. My brother installed an elevated rear sight on the rifle because the rifle is missing the type of rear sight shown in the photos on this site. Darn thing doesn't shoot worth a darn unless it's on a good rest, Otherwise the end of the barrel seems to move all over the place. I also have a fairly nice Remington Model 34 that I've owned since I was about 18.

This is an old thread that seems to keep going.
I have a 341P that was given to my father as a Christmas present by his brother-in -law whose family owned a hardware store. That was pre WW2. This was the gun I learned to shot with. Still have it and will go to my son or grandson when I go. Very smooth and accurate but the trigger pull is heavy. I have a friendly .22 match coming up with some local guys. I plan to take it and do a comparison against my CZ453 Varmint and maybe the Henry 001 using the same high quality target ammo. Not really fair as the CZ has a set trigger, heavy barrel and 3-9 scope but I think the Remington will fair pretty well.

Nice old Remington built when Remington took pride in their work and before plastic and castings. Built by hand by skilled craftsmen from walnut and steel. Not some mass produced "modular" design. Modular is just a slang word meaning "so shotty that anyone with a screwdriver and a pair of plyers can work on it". These old guns were built when tolerances were so tight only skilled smiths with expensive machines could work on them. These are not the throw away guns built today. These were made to be used for many generations.

Just found this thread. It was a nice walk down Memory Lane. I got my Dad's 341. He got it for his 20th birthday in 1939. He made it through WW II in the Marines but passed in 1962 when I was 14. The gun had not been shot in over 50 years. I am cleaning it up and it works great. Really accurate off hand with only notch and post sights. My son and grandson will inherit it and have a lot of fun when I am ready to give it up.
It's hard to believe that it cost less than $20, but in the late 30's that was a lot of money. Now ammo is in the vicinity or 10 cents a bang. I yearn for the days of cheep ammo.

I bought a 341P a few years back for $40. It was well worn on
the exterior and stock was beat up. Had several colors of paint
spattered on it, but no rust and mechanically OK. The rifle was
one of most accurate 22s I ever shot. My boy pestered me till
I gave it to him. He didn't like the peeps, so we D/T and put a
K4x scope on it. At 40yds it's a one holer. Boy has since cleaned
it up and refinished the stock.

picked up one of these myself recently
Remington 341P
For what it's worth, I had one of these as a kid, it was my dad's. My brother and I got to use it. I foolishly traded it off for something I don't want to remember. Since then I have owned 3-4 of them. So here is my story: I found one years later online and bought it. It came from NZ and was a rusted piece of S***. But here is the story of the one I bought online from Christchurch, NZ.
The rifle I bought arrived in the US after 911 with all of its rust, and it was a hassle to receive it in Reno at customs. Here's the best part: the rifle was used before WW2 for civilian training. As a result, it came with two serial #'s stamped on the barrel. One was the original manufacture's # and the second was what was stamped by the NZ govt. The New Zealand people had no guns to speak of for training for WWII, so they used rifles like this for training. After the war, these rifles were returned to the original owners with their second serial number intact and put back into the original owner's hands as they were donated for the cause. I bought one such rifle. They are accurate rifles and very desirable. Back in the day, one could buy a single shot bolt action Winchester that came out each year. There are countless models of bolt action rifles produced by them that are still collectable.
