OK, it didn't really follow me home, this was a while in the making.
In 2006 Remington did a special run of commemorative M-40 rifles, made to the 1966 specs w/parkerized finish, wood stock, clip slot receiver, and what looks to be a varminter barrel. Serial numbers were SSAXXXX, with U.S. stamped over them.
A friend of mine in a store had one come through and he set it aside for me. I was deployed for a while, and finally got around to sending the last check off last month.
I'm not a big fan of commemoratives, as I believe guns should be owned to be used, but this is the closest I've come to buying something to put in a display case. If you're thinking of getting one, pick it up - they're amazing.
Now, if I could only find a Redfield 3x9...
