One can be in the chamber ready to fire and the other in the action. Removing the tubular magazine and emptying rounds out is fine, but two may still remain in the rifle. The problem comes when the shooter has finished and wishes to remove any remaining rounds from the rifle. In the ‘fire’ position, a red band is clearly visible. In the ‘safe’ position, the trigger is firmly locked. The Fieldmaster has a cross bolt safety fitted. With regard to safety, a little extra care is required when operating a pump action firearm. It is not recommended that any adjustments be made to the front sight. If the rifle shoots right or left, you should always move the rear windage sight in the direction you want the rifle to shoot. The rear sight has a ramp and adjustment for elevation can be easily made. These are adjusted at the factory, but the new owner will need to sight in at whatever distance they intend to do most of their shooting. The 21" barrel has a right hand one in 16 twist and comes with open sights fitted. Those who feel strongly about it can rub back the wood and oil it, but having done this on a 541S, it is quite a task. Some may feel that an oil finish would look better, but the Dupont finish should prove to be easier to maintain for general use. It has a high-gloss finish, which I was told is a Dupont RKW mix. This rifle features the usual high-grade American walnut stock, with custom chequering on the pistol grip and fore-end. The Fieldmaster 572 comes in two grades: a standard model and the BDL ‘Custom Deluxe’, which was the one I tested. (Some self-loaders were not reliable with anything less than high velocity ammunition.) Well, self-loaders are now banned and rabbits are harder to come by.
In the past, there were a number of professional rabbit shooters who preferred the pump action over the semi self-loaders, as they considered the former to be more reliable and not as sensitive to ammunition types. The BDL is the only 572 model currently in production.Pump action rimfires have been around for a very long time and although their popularity seems to have waned in recent years, they are still a lot of fun to shoot. In 2017, after complaints that the high Monte Carlo comb made the rifle difficult to use with open sights, Remington returned to a straight comb butt stock design for current production BDL rifles. In 1991, the walnut butt stock of the BDL Deluxe version was altered to incorporate a Monte Carlo comb to improve cheek weld when using the rifle with a telescopic sight, and the impressed checkering was altered to machine-cut checkering. The BDL featured a ramp front sight with gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight modeled after the sight used on Remington 700 big-game rifle, and a higher-grade walnut forearm and straight-comb butt stock with impressed checkering. Model 572 BDL In 1966, Remington introduced the BDL or "Deluxe" rifle to supplement the 572A and 572SB. Model 572SB Introduced in 1961 the 572 Smooth Bore ( Garden Gun) had the same specs as the Model 572A except with a smoothbore barrel. Variants Model 572A Fieldmaster Introduced in 1956 as well, the 572A featured a 22.75 in (57.8 cm) barrel, an uncheckered hardwood pistol-grip stock and a grooved forearm. The Model 572 uses many of the design features first introduced on the Remington Model 870 shotgun, and replaced the Model 121 Fieldmaster as the company's slide-action rimfire repeater. The original Fieldmaster used a 22.75-inch barrel. 22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges, a cross-bolt safety, and an aluminum receiver grooved for scope mounts. First introduced to the commercial market in 1956, the 572 Fieldmaster rifle incorporates a tubular magazine capable of feeding. 22 caliber (rimfire) rifle manufactured by Remington Arms Company. The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is a slide action, manually-operated.
