The 541's are great little 22 rifles. I'm hoping that the 547 is as good or better. All of the reports on the 504 were disappointing as I was ready to go out and buy one as soon as I started seeing them in stores. Keep those 541's, they will be forever loved by rimfire shooters who seek a quality rifle at a moderate price tag.
I bought my 541-S around 1990. That was after a lull in my shooting for a few years when I traveled a lot and really had no where to keep a bunch of rifles. I believe I paid $400 back then... wow, that's 18 years ago now. Time flys.
