ID help needed: old Remington 22 w/ scope

[Riss]

Need some help making an ID on an old Lyman scope. Just got a Remington 341-P Sportsmaster last night. A neat little 22s,l,lr tube fed bolt gun. At sometime it its long life it had a Lyman 422 Expert scope installed. I can find the rifle in the book as being made between 1936-40 but I can find no referance about the Lyman scope. I can see it is not original as there are holes for a rear mounted peep. WHERE is the scope from and is it as old as the rifle? As far as I can tell the scope was put on correctly and retains all of its little screws and adjusters. It's a neat straight tube scope with very fine crosshairs, and is about 12" long.

I finally turned something up, at oldguns.net.

Down near the bottom, "Remington offered..."

Remington - Sportsmaster 341 - 22 - Blue -
Why aren't these rifles offered for sale on the open market? They simply do not seem to be available, but if you know differently, please advise.

Answer:
Forrest, the Remington Model 341 "Sportmaster" Bolt Action Repeating Rifle was introduced in February 1936. Remington offered the rifle in several different configurations:

341 A Standard had a step adjustable rear sight and white metal bead front sight. It weighed six pounds and initially retailed for $13.90.
Model 341 AT Special was the same as the Model 341 A Standard except that the receiver was drilled and tapped for a 4X Weaver No. 344 scope and No.3 mount.
The 341 P had a Remington Point Crometer rear adjustable sight with two interchangeable discs, hooded front sight with four reticles, specially configured stock, restyled bolt handle, military-style safety, heavier target barrel. It weighed six pounds, four ounces and initially retailed for $14.80.
341 PT Special was the same as the Model 341 P except that it was drilled and tapped for a 4X Weaver No. 344 scope and No.3 mount.
Model 341 SB Smoothbore Rifle was intended for .22-caliber Long Rifle shot cartridges only. It had a white metal bead shotgunstyle front sight and no rear sight. It initially retailed for $13.90.

Remington offered a Lyman No. 422 "Expert" 4X scope for the Model 341 starting in 1938, it retailep for $8.25 when ordered with a rifle.

The Model 341 was discontinued in late October 1940 and replaced by the Remington Model 512 "Sportmaster after about 131,604 Model 341 rifles were sold. My gusss is the reason that you are having difficulties locating a Model 341 offered for sale is because they have not been manufactured for over 60 years. Marc
