Goofy obviously brain-faded. If it were CENTERFIRE, it would not have been made in 22 short, long and long rifle, which are, and always have been RIMFIRE.
I"m guessing, based on the original question, that Peter has one in 32 Rimfire and is shooting 32 S&W centerfires in it. That would explain both why "the mark is way off to the side" and "it does not fire all the time".
That it is firing at all is amazing, but if the firing pin is large enough it might get the edge of the primer, and occasionally go bang.
They may have been made in both rimfire and centerfire, but I have never seen one in center. They are technically a falling block, or dropping block action. Different from the model 4, which is a rolling block.
Hey now guys I only typed what Remington says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No brain fart here.
I looked it up and that is what they said.
Like Alpo typed that comes from REMINGTON not from my imagination.
I would think that they know what they made (maybe).
Maybe not.

Thanks josh and deshivs for clearing that up, I had a friend about 40 years ago that had one, and when we would go out and shoot I seem to remember he shot .22s out of it. But after reading that Remington post that said it was a centerfire I was doubting my memory.
