I too have one of the 241 Speedmasters. Mine also came down through the family. Not it's my wife's gun, or so she likes to think and I am good with that. They are infinitely superior to the Browning patent they are built from. I imagine yours is a long rifle, but I know there were some that are shorts only. Gallery guns I guess.


Not a great picture, but my wife with her 241 Remington and dinner.

Stan,
Chris was born when I was 44 years of age, and, while I dont doubt the wisdom of what you say, Granchildren might be a bridge too far for this guy.
Time will tell.

However, I enjoy the hell out of my boy. Some gifts are treasure.

Best,
Ted

Brent,
You wife is adorable. You are a lucky man. Tell her I said so.

The biggest problem with the Browning Automatic .22 is that it is tiny, and too light. Neither gun is a standout, accuracy wise, mostly due to the takedown feature. The gallery model, in .22 short is tough to find, and usually beat senseless.

Either of my Remington .22s, a model 552 or model 581 will shoot rings around the 241. But, the 241 can shoot minute of orange good enough for what we do with a .22.

Best,
Ted

I did. She blushed.

Yes, the Browning's problem is it is too small, too light.

The .241 will make headshots on squirrels at 20 yds. That's all that counts.

Brent,
This one is a shooter. Remington 581:



This is an early gun, with a mahogany stock. The barrel has been shortened an inch or so, and given a target crown. The scope is a Weaver Marksman 4X, about the same vintage. The combination shoots better than I can.

If one turns up in your orbit, I suggest you think twice before you pass on it.

Best,
Ted

A lefty!

Does your 241 spit hot brass into to cuff of your non-trigger arm? That is its one fault.

They bang around a little bit. Ive had a few hit me over the years, but, not enough that Id consider it a fault. The autoloaders only get 3-4 rounds loaded in them, I work hard on making each of them count.
I have shot lefty for 50 years or so, but that may be changing if the vision in my left eye doesnt recover.

Best,
Ted

I was looking thru some old pics and found some of my old lab that is gone now. First pic is in Yuma on a late season dove hunt. Second pic is the day we got her as a 10 month old and she found my hat comforting while on the long drive home. The rest are hunts she made. Builder (Milt) is in the one pic of the roosters on the tailgate. I may have posted these before. If so, sorry if I spammed the thread.

Hey Chuck,
The beard is almost all white now. I remember when you got her. She was a lot of fun. I remember when you got the red truck too. Some good times. Do you still go out to that farm in SD?

So many guns, so little time!
