Two recently discontinued Remington bolt action .22's that have become popular classics are the Models 741 and 741T.
The T has a heavy barrel and the 741 is a sporter.
Are these different rifles than the 541S and 541T?
Yes, there is an important difference but first let me correct my mistake with the model numbers that I was referring to.
I should have said the MODEL 541T and the MODEL 541T - HB.only because those are the models that I'm used to seeing and are more recent production.
The 541T is a sporter and the 541T - HB has a heavy bull barrel.
The Model 541S is a different model for more than just cosmetic reasons.
While the 541S may have been an older production model, it's reported to have had a better trigger and accuracy and probably even better cosmetics than the 541T.
I didn't mention it because I'm just not as familiar with it - I'm only familiar with the T and T-HB models.
I'm not sure that any Model 541S had sights even though its a sporter.
At least some of the 541T had sights.
The 541T - HB is more of a bench rest or heavy varmint type of rifle that can out shoot both of the 541 sporters.
Thanks for bringing the 541S Model to my attention and my mistake with the model numbers.
There's information that can be Googled about their differences which I learned from.
