What do I have here?

You have what looks to be a Remington Rangemaster M 37 in very nice condition. I don't know what you would define as a "collectors item" but I would love to have one in my collection. The scope is a top notch scope as well. They seem to go for 600-1200 on Gunbroker so, in the whole scheme of things, not overly valuable. The scope is very nice so that would certainly add value.
 
I can not get the mounting spot png to open. But I am guessing, if it on the left side, near the rear of the receiver, it is where you could mount a Marble or Lyman style rear peep style sight.
A Remington rear sight fit this angled mounting base, so that it was level when mounted. Others made sights for it, but don't believe any fit on the factory supplied block in the pic. Redfield made a special sight base that allowed use of their better sights, Olympic, International, & Palma.
 
Congratulations. In my opinion you have a very nice heirloom. I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot and enjoy it. I would also take extremely good care of it and pass it on to my children or grandchildren.
 
Extremely nice target rifles. Model 37's had extremely smooth actions, at least the several I had and shot did.
Magazines are hard to find and pricey when you do find them, single shot adapters more so.

Vaver made a very nice aperture sight for them. Unique in the fact that the adjustments were a rack and pinion gear set up as opposed to traditional screw thread adjustments.

The mention of Art Cook is heart warming. He and his wife were still competing at the Camp Perry small bore nationals in the 90's when our daughter shot in them. He would sign the range commands to her (his wife) since she was deaf.

In my very humble opinion the 37 had a slight edge on the 52 Winny but you know the old saying about opinions!

The short "scope block" rear mount was used on earlier Remington 37s and later a longer more traditional side mounting block was used. What is the serial number of your rifle, there is a 37 #sn database on Rimfire Central..
 
Aaron,
It is totally worthless. Scope is an antique with limited FOV and no gas in it, no special argon lens treatments. Probably was shot with lead bullets and won't hit a barn door from inside.
So, if you would like to off-load it, I will pay shipping to my FFL to keep you from the misery of owning it. Seriously. ;)
