For sale is a Remington Model 40-X bolt-action rifle in .22 LR. Serial number- 10890. This rifle is in good condition but has wear on the stock as seen in the photos. It is a 1st Year production (1961) and "US" Marked! the Remington 40 comes in many variants, each designed for a different type of match or target shooting. The first Model 40s were introduced in 1961. They are built on a modified Model 700 action, but the receivers and stocks are modified to give the rifle extra rigidity. In 1961, the line debuted with the Model 40X, which was built until 1964; this version had a straight-comb stock and a half-length fore-end. Standard Model 40Xs lacked checkering, but this could be had with special orders. There were also certain standard chamberings, but others could be had upon special order. All had sturdy non-slip rubber end plates and heavy 28-inch match-quality barrels. It had no optical sights (none of the Model 40 series did), but had mounting blocks for telescopic sights and rails for aperture sights. The Rangemaster was introduced in 1955 and military procurement started just after its introduction. The Rangemaster was shipped with quite a few variations in the markings, some stated "U.S.M.C. PROPERTY" needed to be used, other contracts have "U.S. PROPERTY" markings, some such as this one are simply marked "U.S.", and others have none.
