Nice rifle. What cartridge does it shoot?
Jim .22 long rifle only. They also made them in .22 short only, I think those were called gallery guns and many were used in public shooting galleries back in the day. This one must be a deluxe grade as many of them that I looked at on line do not have checkering on the grip or forearm. Yep, it is made on a Browning patent and Remington had to pay a royalty to Browning for each one manufactured. This one is pretty early, serial No. 20xxx puts it at 1937 manufacture. Zim

the trick for iron sights and aging eyes is to find the drug store readers that will let you focus clearly on the front sight , then you put the crisp front sight on center of the blurry target.
take a tape measure and have Patrice measure the distance from the front sight to your eye then go try the readers on at the pharmacy when your head is that far from the text and you can read it clearly you should have a good crisp sight.
there is a new line of safety/shooting glasses using this. that they call Top Focals , they are a bifocal but reader on top half and not the bottom. haven't tried them yet.
I wear prescription shooting glasses to get my correction mostly astigmatism at this point to make the round targets wound again.
but I have some friends who use the reading glasses trick for shooting irons sharp front sight blurry target.
if it works well you might even see the eye doctor about making you glasses to perfectly see that front sight.

Very nice rifle indeed. With a little practice you can learn to instinct shoot. Don’t look through the sights or even at them. Both eyes open and looking at the target mount the rifle to your shoulder pointing at the target when it “feels right “ fire. If you give it an honest try you will be amazed at how quickly you can start to hit shotgun shell size targets with regularity. John Browning was a genius and Remington and Winchester recognized this.

AntiGov, I think what ya got there is a model 24 that was made before the 241. I did not know much about this before I got this rifle I showed on here. What I learned in a brief history lesson is that in the 30's and in the Great Depression Remington was in some tough times and Dupont bought a controlling interest. That was in 1933 or so and one of the things they did was to make "improvements" to the model 24 and that is why it is called a model 241. I did not know all this stuff til I got the rifle. Zim

many pre 1968 22 rifles and shotguns have no SN# they were tools purchased at a hardware store.
it is very possible you don't find a SN#
the old Mossberg bolt action shotguns didn't have SN# till 1968 or 69
same for the old bolt action Stevens shotguns
Mossberg 22s didn't either

Eyes, schmeyes! You ever see John Wayne use the sites on his Model 94 Winchester? Shoot it like you shoot a full choke shotgun. Put the "shot pattern" on center.
