Thread: Anyone know this peep sight?

Yes, the rifle belonged, as I understand it, to granddad, then dad, then ended up with mums dad (my other granddad), First I saw it it was discarded up under a house on the dirt at Raglan for about 10-15 years with an old hammer action shot gun and a Remington Model 341 "Sportmaster" .22, out of sight, out of mind.
Then my uncle took it and removed the ring 'cause it rattled and scared the rabbits. he passed away and my other uncle got it.
Finally he agreed to let me have it if I swapped it for the same.
Looked for years and strangely was buying ammo in a shop in Whangarie when some random guy wandered in wanting to sell a 1892 32-20. What were the odds?? I explained why and asked if he'd sell it to me. (note one pissed off shop keeper looking at a 15 year old kid on a motor bike) Luckily he agreed because a month later all the other guns were stolen. That was 40 years ago!
So now I've got a rifle that belonged to both my grandfathers.
The bore was like a cheese grater and had to be cleaned with a wire brush after just 5 shots. Very accurate out to about 10 meters. Then more like a shotgun.
Fortunately later Eagle Arms started in Tauranga and mine was one of, if not the first barrel they sleeved.
Now it's a great gun for varminting and plinking, very accurate but still has all the original trademarks.
Fortunately my daughter is keen on having it so it hopefully will stay in the family a few more years.

ps if you know anyone selling a Remington Model 341 "Sportmaster" .22 I'd love to know. What a lovely rifle to use. Spent many happy hours wandering the hills carrying that.
