You’re right about the collector’s market! Some debate around the perceived value can be contentious. But even more, I’ve heard arguments that modern rifles are better suited for beginners. What do you all think?
I think modern rifles are great, but something about the Model 41 gives it character. It’s nostalgic and part of shooting history. Plus, you don’t see many single-shots around nowadays!
True! Although I sometimes wonder if they’ve fallen out of favor for a reason. Were there significant drawbacks that pushed people towards semi-automatics?
While semi-autos are faster, the precision of a single-shot like the Model 41 is unmatched for target practice! It’s all about the user’s goal; some prefer the slower, more deliberate experience.
Indeed! Plus, there’s a certain charm to using such a historic rifle. I think it forces you to appreciate every shot. Does anyone have a favorite memory with the Model 41?

I’ve owned the Remington Model 41 Targetmaster for over a decade now, and it’s been a fantastic addition for my target shooting practice. It’s surprisingly accurate for its age!
I completely agree! I took mine out last weekend and hit the bullseye more times than I can count. It really builds confidence as a shooter.
The Model 41 has a fascinating history. First produced in the early 1940s, it was designed for both competition and casual shooting. It’s built like a tank!

I used mine for hunting last fall. It performed well, but I would suggest using high-velocity ammo for best results in the field. What’s been your experience?
I’ve mostly used it for target shooting. The trigger breaks nicely and helps with precision shots at the range!
Maintenance tip: Regularly clean the bolt and chamber to prevent jams. I learned this the hard way during a match!
Ouch, sounds stressful! I always keep my cleaning kit ready. Can’t have any hiccups during practice!

I’m curious if anyone has tried customizing their Model 41? I’ve seen some aftermarket stocks that really enhance the look.

I haven’t customized mine yet, but I think it would be fun to give it a unique flair. Any recommendations?
I can see why some might think that, but I believe it’s about how well you connect with the rifle that matters.
Controversial opinion: Some say the Model 41 is overrated. I disagree! I think it offers exceptional value for its price point and reliability.
Reflecting on my time with the Model 41, it’s taught me so much about precision shooting. Every session is a new lesson. What has everyone else learned?
