Here's a few pics of my 40XB. The scope & rings have been changes since these pics were taken.
Rod B,
Laminated stock(aftermarket) rifle is a 40XR 22LR
(700 handle)
40XB's are center fire
Ken that is a nice rifle
my favourite design in the remington
what are they worth now
I would pay 100 bucks and bring the ammo for a 4 hour shooting session
maybe that would be all I need to complete that portion of my bucket list
owned one that shot really good and sold it for 100 bucks more than I paid to a jerk
regretted it for 10 years or more
sigh

Ken’s or the Robertson stock for a 40x
mmmmmmmmmm
my daily limit for emt is 2 grand thank god,
problem is most might be a little used that are for sale
always paid more for minty, even reblued if done right
nice things are hard to come by, keep them and use them while you can
must go away or I will cry with sadness
will sell a factory type silhouette rifle this spring to find and fund a 40x
probably won’t work but if it was not for dreams, hopes and tommorow’ s we would have nothing

My 40X has the serial number 056646R. I am assuming this is a custom shop model, am I correct?
I have that same model, shoots very, very well. Also managed to luck into a couple hundred Federal 6x47 Rem brass. I love shooting this gun, if the groups open up, i know it's me. - dan
In order in the pics, 6mm, 17, 7mm-08 and 260. Scopes are leupold 6.5-20 on the 6mm and 7mm-08, a Nikon 6-24 Monarch on the 17, and a Bushnell 4.5-30 on the 260. - dan
Rare VLS chamberings there Dan. Beautiful guns. Very accurate too.
The VLS came in three stock types from what I can tell. The earliest was checkered front and back with a rosewood tip. The middle ones checkered on the grip only. The last ones had no checkering at all.
Thanks for the pics.

Thx. These all have the checkering and the grip cap. - dan
Beautiful rifles!
As a teenager-target-shooter... I've often lust for a these
A 40XR rimfire.
Another option was the 540X rimfire.
The 40XC's were available in 223 & 7.62x51 w/ Gray Syn McMillan Repeater configuration & the 40XR/XC w/ Gray McMillan stock in 22LR single shot.
(complete set of above that are NIB)
The 40XC stocks were proprietary to Rem Custom shop ONLY.
A Modified 40XC stock was available to purchase from McMillan that had a drop belly(repeater) per se w/ thinner fore end.
