    1946 Remington Targetmaster

    I thought some of you would like this.
    I inherited my Grandfathers 1946 Remington Targetmaster all beat to hell
    my Mom said she and Grandpa used it to hunt rabbits when she was a young girl back on the farm in Nebraska. Well I moved her to Palm Springs this year
    and she brought this with and passed it on to me. Like I said poor condition at best Bore looks exelent they dont make things like they used to.
    I found a new stock fit it and bedded the acton and floated the barrel and installed a piece of rail for a bipod mount. Had scope mounts installed then bought a Pronghorn 3x9 scope for it. Refinished the barrel and action and stained the stock in black. Did all this with my 8yr old helping and asking a million questions. Finished up a little bit ago only thing left is to install bout its still drying.
    Handed the rifle to him and said its yours as long as you give it to your son and tall him all the stories that will come with it. Im a proud Dad and have a great son he didnt expect me to give this to him and is so grateful to receive it.

    heres some pics

        I used to collect the 500 series Remington's. All I have left is a Targetmaster, '39 vintage.

          1) You do have the bolt for it, right?

          2) What bipod is that?

            The finish was still drying on the bolt
            the bipod is a gun show special

              Nice job with both the rifle & handing it down to your son. I will bet he's beyond stoked. I bought my son a CZ bolt action youth .22 rifle for him when he was 6 months old. My wife didnt think it was so cool but I DID!!! He's 4 years old now and I am counting the days til his Grandfather-Jack III, my son-Jack V, and myself-Jack IV are out plinkin cans, havin fun. 3 generations of "Jacks." Anyway, enjoy as much time with your son as possible.

                my buddy has a '41 510 targetmaster and its a hell of a shot. we wanted to have the receiver tapped and drilled for a scope mount but the gunsmith quoted me 100 bucks.

                  Nicely done piece of work and a priceless gift to your son!
                  I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!
