Tell me your thoughts on the Remington 541 T in .22lr.
Good - bad- accurate- nothing special??
 
I have one in my safe that I inherited from grandpa, haven't shot it yet, but she's a beautiful gun

Agreed that they a beautiful gun. Looked at them years ago, but did not buy. There were talks about hit and miss accuracy. just depending on the gun. So, all I can offer is hearsay.
 
I have always wanted one of these in Curly Maple (the Lew Horton Stock). If I ever find one - I'm pulling the trigger - literally.
 
Had one of the HB models and never did find that it was more than "normal" accurate with a variety of .22 brands--- but probably could have given it some time with standard velocity "target loads" and maybe it would have been a keeper. Is a "purdy" rifle though.
 
I bought one to have as a "keepsake" item from an Uncle who passed a few years back. His brother (another Uncle) talks up both the 541T and 541S as highly accurate. I've not gotten around to shooting it yet to confirm or dispute his opinion of them.
 
My brother in law was heavily involved in BR22--he proved 50x over that he could afford any .22 he wanted. His choice for squirrel hunting was the Rem 541T
 
Almost bought one new back in the 90s, but the cheap plastic magazine turned me off. Now there is a guy who makes high quality steel replacement magazines for them and the 581. I should have bought it.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
