Thanks. Stevo that looks awesome. May I ask what scope that is? What all do I need for mine? Front and rear base, rings, and scope? What scopes were used on these? Thank you anybody for any information, I’ve been researching but haven’t found a lot on the USMC ones.
That looks like an old lyman super targetspot...you would need scope blocks to use that style of telescope.
That is probably a CMP sales rifle...they were intended to be shot with the iron sights it is equipped with. It is yours and you can do whatever you want with it...I personally wouldn’t dick with it, there is collector interest in those rifles and if you do any permanent modifications the value will take a significant hit.

Yes it is a cmp sales rifle, and is a 20x super target spot. They were intended to be used with irons, but I much more enjoy the scope. I have the sight blocks put up. The barrels were already tapped for the front scope mount so I used them. I lucked into mine at a gun store one day, it was just marked as a regular Remington 22. Nice find cracker, Hope u enjoy it
Awesome find man. Love these rifles. They’re shooters to boot! I have a USMC Property one as well. Per the serial # built in 1956. Ended up putting a Nightforce on it. I enjoy the scope a lot more than the sights. Great rifles. Good find man!
yes they came drilled and tapped for a scope

Yes sir. Just grab yourself a Scope Base for a Remington 700 and you’ll be GTG.
While I enjoy my Vudoo, I would almost give my left nut for one of these gems.. someday... Beautiful rifle!
Surprisingly clean. Very nice. Don't see em in that condition...ever.
My babies. Top 2 are USMC Property ones. Middle one is on a return stock (got the barreled action from the CMP). Bottom one is an 40 XRBR in a A5 stock.
Love rimfires.

These old target single shots are a lot of fun. I have a 40X with a 15X Unertl scope that is very accurate. Thanks CMP

I saw that, but have no idea why it is underlined. Anyhow, I was just asking a question, so there wouldn’t be a link.I thought you posted a linky being all underlined and what not.. i kept hittin what you wrote like wtf...
