Remington .22 LR Bolt-Action Rifle
The Remington .22 LR bolt-action rifle represents the simple, traditional design that has made rimfire rifles popular for generations. Chambered in the widely used .22 Long Rifle cartridge, these rifles are commonly associated with recreational target shooting, training, small-game applications and general sporting use.
Remington has produced a number of bolt-action .22 LR rifles over the years, with individual models differing in stock design, magazine configuration, barrel length, sights and overall construction. Despite these differences, the basic bolt-action system remains straightforward and familiar. The shooter manually operates the bolt between shots to extract the fired cartridge, load the next round and cock the action.
The .22 LR cartridge is known for its relatively mild recoil, modest report and low ammunition cost compared with larger centrefire cartridges. This has helped make .22-calibre bolt-action rifles popular for introductory shooting and regular range practice. The manually operated action also encourages a deliberate shooting rhythm and provides a simple mechanical layout.
Depending on the specific Remington model, the rifle may use a detachable box magazine, tubular magazine or single-shot feeding system. Some versions feature traditional open sights, while others may be fitted or prepared for the installation of an optical sight. Stocks may be manufactured from wood or synthetic materials depending on the model and production period.
Older Remington .22 LR rifles are also commonly encountered on the second-hand and collector market. Their condition can vary considerably depending on age, storage and previous use. Particular attention should be given to the bore, bolt operation, safety mechanism, trigger, magazine system and overall condition when evaluating an older example.
With its traditional bolt-action layout and versatile .22 LR chambering, a Remington rimfire rifle remains a recognizable example of classic American sporting-rifle design.
