~ A LITTLE HISTORY ~
~
In the first century A.D., the Chinese reportedly had a simple form of gunpowder
made from saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal dust. Around 1232
the Chinese used this gunpowder to propel rockets during the battle of Kai-Keng.
By 1304 the Arabs had produced the first gun, a bamboo tube reinforced with iron
that used a charge of black powder to shoot an arrow.
Lets jump forward a few centuries to 1816 when a young Eliphalet Remington II
believed he could build a better gun than he could buy, and he set out to craft
such a gun on his father's forge located at Ilion Gulch, New York.
In the autumn of 1816, Eliphalet entered a shooting match with his new flintlock
rifle, and while he only finished second, his handmade rifle was a success
In 1955 Eliphalet successors decided to repeat his accomplishment and build the
most accurate rifle in History! - The 40X was born!
The most Accurate Production Rifle ever made. Was Then - Is Now!
and as Paul would Say " That's The Rest of The Story".
