The LGS here in Idaho had a pretty mint one on consignment for $470. I thought about it overnight and headed back today. I asked if they could do any better on price. The salesman went in a back room for a bit and returned saying they could do $400. Nice clean 4X Redfield included. I have wanted one of these for years.

It has been a lot of years since I have seen one that nice for that few dollars, when considering the scope value you really did well.
I always liked the 541T better than the 541S, IMO the 541S was a little overdone with the scrollwork.

Congrats

Good price it seems.

You better go to confession. 😁

Nice rifle !!!

Dang. What a great buy! Shoot it and enjoy it!

That was a steal...

Smile... you did well! Enjoy it.

Well Ed , your little windfall on that deal proves that sometimes good things do happen to good people..:)

Enjoy that Remington!!!

Nice score, Ed.

I "stole" one like you did about five years ago. It was unfired. Feed it Norma TAC/Match, SK Pistol Match or UM822 and it ought not disappoint!

Heading out to shoot it in two days. What Remington once was I suppose... My boy's were happy. I'll fly it back to Texas with my Win M77 I picked up here earlier this summer.

You thief!!!

Those babies shoot - and shoot very well... Stoked with Eley ammo and watch the holes meet... Wonderful trigger (can't believe I'm sayin' that.. ) that can be adjusted down to very small weights.. Mine breaks at 4 oz..

Congrats on the purchase.... You did well.

Beautiful rifle, sir.

Good grab. No, great grab. It should be very enjoyable.

Very nice. You and Local Dirt have all the good deals rounded up. Hasbeen

Thought I had enough .22 bolt guns. Now I'm jealous.

EdM: Great find there - like others have touched on YOU stole that Rifle/scope combination!
Good for you.
My heavy barrel Remington 541-T has a Weaver KT-15 (straight 15 power) scope on it and it shoots like a house on fire!
Be sure to let us know how it shoots.

That’s a really good deal. I love my 541-S and have thought about a 541-T many times but couldn’t justify both.

stole it

Nice Grab Ed

Very nice gun and that scope looks perfect on there....will be a great BunnyBuster...

I have to agree with the others. Around here that combo would be $600.00 to 650.00, minimum.


Great buy.

Please let us know how it shoots. Particularly if it has the cold bore first shot flyer. I just bought a Heavy Barrel one yesterday. My 541-S had the "flyer" have seen several others do this as well. There are some good deals out there, one has to be patient.

At $400, that is an absolute STEAL without any optics or mounts at all. Wish I still had mine.

Congratulations Ed, those are wonderful rifles, my 541T wears a Burris 3-9x32 Compact scope. They are pretty accurate rifles.

You're not the only one who has been wanting one for years. Great snag.

congratulations you did well. I have only had 1 that did not meet my accuracy expectations thru the years. I bet you will be happy with yours.

WOW! Great snag!

You really did steal that thing. And it looks to be in nearly mint condition. I have a 541T and a 541S. Love them both but I always seem to take out the T when I go out busting jackrabbits. Both are deadly accurate with just about anything but Eley HP’s knock them down like lighting bolts. Great find. To say you did well would be a serious understatement...

Yep, you "stole" that one right out from under the rest of us. Congratulations!

Now the only way to make it right is to post a range report, shot with a variety of ammo and include lots of pictures....

Bargain!!! Congrats

Now find an extra magazine for it.

Great rifles, with a really junk magazine.

I hear that a lot, yet my 1967 581 ran fine for decades with its only one. It eventually started to balk a bit, so I when I bumped into a new one in my LGS, I bought it, $10 IIRC. I think the old one is probably gummed up with bullet lube from the thousands of rounds it's fed.

I bought two magazines from this outfit. Extremely well made. I returned from shooting it a couple hours ago. I mounted one of the Weaver 2.5-7X Rimfires that Natchez has on sale on it. It shot great but I do need to work on the trigger.
