Where they ever gone? Out of production? You see them in the various catalogs all the time, and I don't ever remember them not being on the Remington website.

I want 1 lol
Is it just me, or doesn't that suggested retail price seem a little high?
Yes considering the Henry Pump .22s go for $400.
Really, because I barely see pump .22s in stores or at gun shows (even then it is an old remington or the Henry .22 pump).

I think the one I bought back in '93 (and then sold
) was aprox $275 at LeBarons. That's the new part I guess. Otherwise, this rifles been in production for the last 50 years.

That's the first thing I thought too.... and it's in U.S. bucks to boot
They've been making these rifles from 50 or so years... if they ever went out of production that news to me. From what I've seen an read they are very nice guns, accurate and reliable. I do agree that they are over-priced vs the competition. I'd like to pick one up some day and always keep my eye out for a reasonably priced used one. They seem to hold their value; I haven't seen a used one for sale thats in good shape for less then $300... guess I could always buy a beater and redo the furniture.

How accurate is a .22 smooth-bore anyway?

A buddy had a Lakefield Mark I smoothbore and with CCI no.12 shot, pass shooting dragonflys was a blast. Not so much an question of accuracy as it was range. No.12 shot is almost dust. CB's were pop-can accurate to about 15 yards.
Huh, but with a normal .22 LR round how bad would the smooth-bore barrel affect the round in terms of hitting targets at 100 meters?

I hope the new one's are better built than the originals with over hardened firing pins. It's a ##### making a new firing pin out of a JC Higgins firing pin to make it function like it should. Must admit the JC Higgins 12ga firing pin has worked flawlessly.
Cudo's to JC Higgins. for properly hardening a firing pin. Many thanks to Dremel for the a decent product to repair such a problem.

Now, you knew that J.C. Higgins never made any of the guns that had their name on them, didn't you?
Sears house brand, along with Ted Williams. Made by whoever was willing to put the name on, and cheap down the product until the buyers were willing to place an order.
Look it up, don't take my word for it.
Funny, that!

No real experience with that, we never tried it out that far. I'm guessing that it would be no different than a small bore black powder gun. Probably accurate out to 50 yards, no more.
Well I guess I will research it more. Because 50 yards is too little for me to care. Oh well that Henry pump looks good

Are you really looking for a smoothbore pump? Because the rifled version would be quite accurate out to 100 yards; subject to the limitations of the .22RF cartridge.
