The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is a versatile and reliable slide-action rimfire rifle, introduced by Remington Arms in 1954. Known for its resemblance to the Remington 870 shotgun, the 572 is chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle cartridges, making it a popular choice among plinkers, collectors, and small game hunters. The rifle features a tubular magazine under the barrel that holds 15 to 22 rounds, depending on the cartridge used. The 572's design longevity and consistent production until its discontinuation in 2020 speak to its popularity and durability. Its action is smooth and reliable, making it a go-to choice for those who appreciate the feel of a classic manual slide-action rifle. The Remington Model 572 BDL Deluxe version, introduced in 1966, added refined features such as a ramp front sight with a gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight similar to those on the Remington 700, and a higher-grade walnut stock with checkering. In 1991, a Monte Carlo comb was introduced to improve cheek weld for telescopic sight use, though it was later reverted to a straight comb in 2017 due to user feedback. The rifle includes a cross-bolt safety that locks the trigger when engaged, ensuring safety during operation. However, users should be cautious when clearing the rifle, as rounds can remain in the chamber and action even after removing the magazine. The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster remains a celebrated firearm for its reliable performance and classic design, making it a favorite for recreational shooting and small game hunting.
