Just curious if anyone is using or has used a Remington 121 for rimfire silhouette. I've been intrigued by the gun lately, and would like some feedback on the suitability of it for the game. Thank you to all who provide feedback. Matt

You will need better sights first. I'm not that familiar with 121s, but from photos on the net I see you can mount a tang sight (after drilling and tapping). A tang sight might get you there.
If the rifle can shoot a 2" group at 100 meters then it should be accurate enough. Many (most!) of us can't hold a 2" group, so one-hole accuracy isn't needed.
If you already own one I'd try it. You won't have to "buy your way in" if you already have one. If you have to purchase it there may be better options - I'm sure someone will offer a solution.
For me a rifle with a good trigger and good sights is competitive.

Lyman R12 and Marbles R7 tang sights fit the Remington Model 12 and 121. I have tried both on my model 12 and I prefer the Lyman. It's a better sight, but they are very rare and expensive when you find a nice one. The upside is they are very easy to sell if you decide to part with it.
