Remington 141 pumps: Overrated or Underrated?

[mannyrock]

 
    I saw a couple of these at a recent gunshow in .35 Remington.  They seem to be nice sleek rifles, well made.  They also look fine with a scope mounted on top.  (A trim scope doesn't seem to ruin its lines.)
 
     Unlike alot of the rifles from the middle of the last century, these don't seem to have sky-rocketed to ridiculous prices.  Nice examples can be found for between $400 and $550.   
 
    I've never fired one.  So, what do you think?   A great classic?  Or, an over-built rattle-trap trombone gun?
 
    All opinions welcome.

I have a couple model 14's and found them to be underrated. My 35 will put 3 in a 1"group, usually with 2 touching, regularly. Well made and accurate they are easy to carry.  For a while nice examples could be found for 250 around here but creeping prices are getting up around 400 now but still good for a quality classic firearm. Have yet to shoot my 30 remington that I found a few months back. Eventually a 32 Remington is in my future.

                          The 141s are an excellent rifle , built like a tank ! I have two in .35 Rem. one an 18" carbine and the other a 24" rifle . Both are plenty accurate for woods hunting , which is the 35s forte anyway .

I have always liked them and look at them on gb.I saw one at at gun shop a 30 rem that looked so new for 500 dollars I was curious if it was referbed.If it would have been something more common 35 rem I may have attempted to own it.I do like 760 AND 7600.

Neither. Outdated is a better term(chamberings,except the .35,and it is almost there).
