Today,while gunshop hopping with a friend i came across a nice old .22 rifle.It has a 24" bbl.,walnut fingergroove stock,metal buttplate.5 round magazine,well made heavy duty peep sight,chrome plated trigger and bolt.The only marking on the gun,besides cal. marking,is the word Peerless.The gun is in about 95% overall cond.,and with the asking price of 59.95 i was soon the proud owner.After adjusting the sight i chopped a 1/4" 10 shot hole at 20 yds.off sandbags with rem. high velosity long rifles.It could not be bought now for 200.My question is--Who made this rifle.The stock looks very similar to a Rem. mdl. 34,but it is not a single shot.The rear of the bolt and safety is also different.It looks like a 1930's era gun.Can anyone tell me what i have????Thanks.

  Damn...I don't know about the Bracelettes made by Peerless...Always owned Smith and Wesson...
  But I know that the Peerless single Shot Rifles were made from 1935 to 1948......And I never made anyone Walk the Plank! Keel Hauling over a Pack Of Sharks is the prefered method of choice....No mess to Clean up...
