Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model Four is a classic semi-automatic sporting rifle that was manufactured by Remington Arms between 1981 and 1987. Designed to serve as a refined evolution of Remington’s earlier autoloading rifles, the Model Four offered notable improvements in both performance and aesthetics. It was positioned as a premium-grade rifle, catering to hunters and shooters looking for a reliable, smooth-cycling semi-automatic platform with an emphasis on traditional styling and enhanced functionality. One of the key distinctions of the Model Four lies in its naming convention—unlike most Remington models that use numeric designations (such as the Model 742 or Model 7400), this rifle is officially labeled as the “Model Four”, spelled out in full. This subtle branding choice was part of a broader marketing strategy to present the rifle as a more upscale, refined option in Remington's semi-auto lineup. Mechanically, the Model Four is a gas-operated rifle, utilizing a gas port and piston system to cycle the action. This system was engineered to be more reliable and smoother in operation than its predecessor, the Model 742, which had developed a reputation for cycling issues over time. Compared to the Model 742 and later Model 7400, the Model Four introduced a smoother action and a stronger lock-up, which contributed to improved reliability and slightly enhanced accuracy.

The rifle features a 22-inch barrel, a common and versatile length that strikes a good balance between maneuverability in the field and sufficient sight radius for accurate shooting. The barrel is not free-floated, which limits its precision compared to bolt-action or modern precision rifles, but it still offers adequate accuracy for most hunting applications. While the Model Four is not considered a sub-MOA tack driver, it is more than capable of producing consistent hunting-level accuracy, especially when chambered in popular medium- to large-game calibers. This makes it a solid choice for hunters targeting species like white-tailed deer, feral hogs, and similar game. The Model Four was available in a variety of chamberings to suit different hunting needs and regional preferences, including .243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, .270 Winchester, .280 Remington, .30-06 Springfield, and .308 Winchester. These calibers provide excellent versatility, from flatter-shooting rounds suited for open country to hard-hitting loads ideal for thick brush or large game.
Aesthetically, the rifle is equally impressive, featuring a gloss-finished walnut stock with classic lines, checkering, and a traditional Monte Carlo comb, giving it an elegant and timeless appearance. The fit and finish are higher-end compared to many mass-produced rifles of the time, appealing to those who appreciate both form and function. Though it was only in production for a relatively short time, the Remington Model Four has earned a respected place in the world of hunting rifles. Its blend of classic styling, proven functionality, and reliable semi-automatic action make it a favored choice among traditionalists and collectors alike. Today, it remains a valued firearm for those who appreciate a well-made, American semi-auto rifle with roots in Remington's storied history.
