The Remington-Lee rifle is one of the most important bolt-action rifles of all time, as it was the first rifle with a detachable magazine. However, it wasn't until the adoption of Lee rifles by the British that the inventor, James Paris Lee, got the appreciation he deserved. The entire Lee family of rifles, including the Lee-Enfield, would have never existed without the invention of the Remington-Lee rifle. For more on the Remington-Lee Rifle, watch this "I Have This Old Gun" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
