Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 12C is a quintessential example of early 20th-century American rimfire rifle design, combining mechanical ingenuity with aesthetic craftsmanship. Designed by the legendary John Pedersen and introduced in 1909, the Model 12 series marked Remington’s first foray into pump-action rifles, and the 12C variant stands out for its elegant proportions and enhanced accuracy. This model features a 24-inch octagonal blued barrel, adding not only visual appeal but also increased rigidity for improved precision. Chambered in .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, the Model 12C offers exceptional versatility and remains popular with collectors and plinkers alike. Its side ejection design—a signature tear-drop shaped port—was a forward-thinking innovation at the time, keeping spent casings clear of the shooter's face and improving reliability in field conditions.

The rifle's aesthetics are equally compelling, featuring a straight pistol grip walnut stock paired with a ribbed forearm, offering both traditional style and practical handling. The dovetail blade front sight and adjustable rear sight provide an accurate, user-friendly aiming system, perfect for both informal target shooting and small game hunting. At around 5.5 pounds, the 12C was light enough for young shooters, yet solid and stable for adults—a true family rifle in its heyday. As one of several variants in the Model 12 line, the 12C represents a matured design: more substantial than the entry-level 12A, and more versatile than the caliber-specific 12B and 12CS. Built during a golden age of American firearms manufacturing, the Model 12C remains a beloved classic—a well-balanced, finely made, and historically rich rimfire rifle that reflects Remington’s innovation and Pedersen’s genius. Whether in the hands of a collector or out for a day of leisurely plinking, the Model 12C continues to embody the timeless appeal of early pump-action .22s.
