What's my Remington 541s worth? I'd say its about 90%. thanks, capt david

Go to some of the internet auction/sales sites and do a search--there are quite a few of them listed and you will get a good idea of price range.

Which mdl?

I believe that that is the model 541S. capt david

Check Over on Rimfire central. Good Place To Find out what the Real workd Price Is On These.

The last one I saw for sale locally was about 98% condition. Asking price was $600.00.
It's one of Remingtons primo rimfires, very accurate!

For an 'S' model?? Wow... That one had the sporter barrel..

The 'T' version had a bull barrel.. I happened upon one (541-T) about 10+ years ago at the local shop.. It was in about 98% condition. $375.. I sucked it up like a Hoover Deluxe.. Using Eley ammo, this rifle is scary accurate... About 5 years ago my son took it to a turkey shoot. IIRC, he won 9 turkeys and hams with that rifle.. They didn't want to let him shoot anymore..

The 541-S was made from 1972-1981

IIRC, the 541-T is a totally different model, made from 1986-1999.

True.. But my resource says the S was made til '84..

The T version was built in two configurations; a sporter version and the HB (heavy barrel) version, new in '93..

I erred in my post further above re: barrel configs.. My bad..

The 541S's and 541T's are really nice rifles. Now if we just could get a decent magazine for them!

You got that right! Back around 1996 or so I bought a 541T new for $175 from a discount store. Its a great shooter. But the magazines are terrible. I bought six, 10 round magazine for mine over a period of a few years. Only THREE of them functioned most of the time!

The 5-shot magazines work just fine. Of course, they aren't sold retail anymore. I haven't had any trouble with the 10-shot ones, but I usually use my 5's. It takes a while to get over the "it's just plastic" for such a fine rifle.

I have found the 541-S to be more valuable than the 541-T. $600 would be a fair price on the 541-S in good condition. Remington made the 541-T with a sporter barrel and later with a heavy barrel. Based on what I hear, there is no noticable accuracy difference between the -T's regardleass of barrel. I have had a 541-S for years. I'm in the process of acquiring my first 541-T. We'll see how it does.

Yeah, I've been VERY careful with the magazines in this rifle..

My software does show the 'S' to be more valuable than the 'T'..

Don't they take the same magazine as the 511? I know where there are some of those 0f Rem. Manufacture.

I bought a 541 T (heavy barrel) in like new condition for 325 last spring in a local shop... it was a steal the start at 425 and fetch 500-600 depending on condition and how hunger the buyer is.
Great shooter poor mag design

I have seen the 541s for $550 fair to $1000 excellent shape. the 541's is worth more than the 541't.

I bought a 541s 4 or 5 years ago from a guy at work. He had two and he wanted to keep the 541t. I paid $400 for the rifle that included a cheap scope with decent mounts. The action is bedded and the trigger was worked. I already had a 52B but I soon found that the 541 is every bit as accurate.

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.

98% 541S will bring in the 600 to 650 range. 541T sporter a couple hundred less. 541S has a much better adjustable trigger.

I bought my 541S in '92 for $315. Thought it was a lot back then, but I really wanted it. Best $315 I ever spent. My kids are going to love it, if I ever give it up.

I agree. Treat them like the great single shots they are and leave the magazine in the gun safe.

If you need magazines Midway has them for the Nylon 77. They work very well in the 541/581 Remingtons. They are still made of plastic but work better than the originals. I ordered them for my rifles. They fit snugly with no wobble and feeding has been 100 percent.

That's good info.. Didn't know those would interchange..

BTW, here's a link to a 541S up for sale.. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=107681165

It seems a bit, um, high... But who knows??

The 541S were real nice rifles and fetch $400-$600 or more depending on the buyers desire.

At the price they are looking to get for the 547, they had better shoot better than a 541 which I doubt, heck they better shoot as good as an Anschutz.
Check out the price... $1000... being a "Custom Shop" rifle they aren't planning on selling many.

Honestly speaking, I will be disappointed if the the 547's don't rival an Anschutz. Once you get to 0.5" groups at 50 yds, it is hard to squeese them down to 0.25". I believe my test target is about a one-inch at 100 yds (measured outside to outside); essentially about 0.5" with a flyer. So there is some potential there with careful ammo selection.

Too bad we can't use the Ruger 10/22 type mags in everything. That would improve most any other rifle.
