Our Assessment: Remington’s 40X rifle dates back to 1955, when the company introduced the original 40X match rifle in caliber .22 Long Rifle. These rifles, adapted from Remington’s Model 722 action, quickly established a reputation for accuracy and reliability. Subsequent to the introduction of the Model 700, the 40X was introduced in other calibers for various specialized competition events, including bench rest, free rifle, and national match types. Calibers included the original .22 Long Rifle, .222 Remington, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester, among others. The 40XS put the 40X into SWAT black and designated it as the 40 XS Tactical Weapon System. Testing found that this rifle can compete with the best custom precision tactical rifles in terms of accuracy and reliability. This 40X 22LR is in Very nice condition and an excellent example of the quality and precision Remington was producing at the time. This is a must have for target shooters, marksmen, and collectors! Please see our pictures and good luck with your bid! M.C
