First blood for my 141
First blood for my 141
My 1941 Model 141 loaded with a 200 gr CoreLokt and 37 gr of IMR 3031( chrono'd 2100 fps) made a MESS of a nice fat Pa. doe last Saturday. Made a left handed shot from a tree stand, I am very RIGHT handed, at 30 yards.The shot went in alittle high for the spine but it knocked her down for awhile until I could get out of the stand. I aimed for a back of the neck finishing shot BUT made a head shot instead.No pictures as she wound up with a face for radio! Never saw damage like that before...Anyway, now I know why these rifles are so well regarded.Any rifle I can make an open sighted left hand shot with is alright by me!

Good to hear someone else still uses these fine old rifles for deer hunting. I started out the season with a Mo 14 but had to switch because the deer werent offering shots within 200 yds.

Congratulations Muddly! I know that's a great feeling.
Re: First blood for my 141
I grew up in Erie, PA and the Rem 14 and 141 rifles were still being used quite regularly in the middle 60's for deer and bear hunting. I brought my Rem 14 .35 with me to Savannah, GA in 1968 when I was in the Army-ended up trading it for a Win Model 12-still have that Model 12..wish I had that Rem 14 now..have started collecting unmessed with Rem 141's..have three now: Serials 37XX, 39XX, and 46XXX. Wish I had more..

Re: First blood for my 141
I know the feeling; one can never have enough 141s...and I've gained a recent affinity for the .32s.
Should change my name to "Gamemaster Addict."
Please save some "unmessed" ones for me!

Re: First blood for my 141
Question for gunguy56. Do your two early 141s have the 24 inch barrel and the Gamemaster logo stamped on the receiver? My # 2322 does not have either, it is date code DD. Ken Blauch
