Introduced in 1949. The F, or Premier, grade was the highest offered by Remington, and each one was hand made by the master smiths in the Remington Custom Shop. Dual ivory sight beads on the vent rib, with an improved cylinder choke, the two line patent and address markings on the right side of the barrel, and the 2 3/4 inch chamber markings on the reverse. A 5 3/4 inch wedge of scroll engraving with punch-dot background is present on each side of the breech, incorporating banners which surround the markings. The model and serial number markings are hand engraved on the underside of the receiver, which shows over 98% coverage of fine scrollwork, with punch dot backgrounds, a dogs head on the trigger guard, floral patterns on the trigger guard retention pins, and a starburst design on the rear of the operating handle. Each side features a three-panel game scene; the left shows a field scene with hills in the background, with two dogs in the center and a gamebird in flight on either side, with a similar arrangement on the right. Fitted with an extra-fancy high grade walnut stock, featuring sharp checkering on the beavertail forearm and pistol grip, integrating curved and sharply angled border lines, a Remington grip cap with Fleur-de-Lis accents, an untouched gold inscription panel on the underside, 14 1/4 inches pull and a Pachmayr Decelerator solid recoil pad.
