The Official American Boy Scout Rifle: Remington 4-S

[Happy Hoosier]

1. Shot one of those years ago at Boy Scout Summer Camp

It's in .22 SHORT, which is a really, really weak cartridge.... the rifle design is overkill for that cartridge.

.22 Short was developed initially as a pocket pistol cartridge, but was popular for use with shooting clubs, becuase it can actually be used at indoor ranges with relatively simple precautions.

But that old rolling block design is pretty neat.

The Boy Scout Camp I attended have one. I won the shooting tournament that year, and when I got my prizes, they also let me shoot the antique, which was pretty fun.
