I think Ted is a 550 or 552 admirer, too. I got my 552 as a going-away gift from the newsroom and, with the weather warming up to -8C yesterday, popped off two porcupines and a pair of rabbits for a pie. Those Remingtons are peerless. 15 years of Fake News and bloviating in your abbreviated career, and all you got was a lousy Remington 552??? I'd think someone of your self-described greatness would have been given a presentation grade Purdey double. Now we're back on topic!
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Best, Ted When we consider the self-described greatness of the Great King Brown, even a presentation grade Purdey Best might be considered lousy. Just sayin'

Fox Ever seen a 5 year old acting out to try and get attention? Same thing. I've talked to ed on the phone ...........once..........and he doesn't talk like that. It's pitiful, actually. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan; I totally blew it on identifying that old Mossberg. A bell finally rang in my head & I googled it & confirmed. It was a 42MC. Sights were terrible, little sheet metal pieces which folded up & down for the front sight & flipped around on the rear. Had about 4 choices for either, including a peep in the rear which was too far from the eye to be useful. I first fitted it with a Williams 5D peep & a Lyman ivory bead front on a ramp. I could shoot that pretty respectfully but after a couple of years mounted the Bushnell scope & things picked up.

Miller, the Model 46B was my first rifle, and my first deer was with it, two running shots. Had one cartridge up the spout, another between my lips because the ejector was unreliable. I still have it. Went to scope, still have the sights.
I mention running shots because village kids used their fathers' or their own, often back and forth to school through the woods, and anyone who couldn't hit running squirrels wasn't good company. Thanks for the memories.

Anything currently either made by or for Remington is crap. Even their ammo should not be trusted. Pitiful. They even screwed up the Marlin products when they took them over. But hell, what do Leebs know about guns?
