Madison, N.C. – The finely-crafted
Model 547 Custom Classic Rimfire rifle is one of the
bestlooking, best-performing bolt action rimfire rifles ever
produced. Based on the Model 504™ platform, the Model 547 is the
end result of engineering redesign combined with premium
components and subtle refinements to produce a rifle that
carries an unparalleled accuracy guarantee. The Model 547 is
masterfully-crafted in the Remington Custom Shop and is
available in traditional, match-chambered 22 LR and
lightning-fast, medium range 17 HMR chambering.
Based on the Model 504 rimfire design, the Model 547 has many
detailed features that enhance its performance - a receiver
machined from a solid bar of steel with a rear lock-up design;
positive bedded action with twin takedown screws; dual
extractors for positive feeding; and advanced barrel clamp
design that provides a strong action-to-barrel union. The Model
547 design has been enhanced with a reconfigured bolt handle
that mirrors the look and feel of the world’s most popular
bolt-action centerfire rifle - the Model 700™. This one-piece
bolt handle and cocking piece are now integrated for enhanced
strength. All triggers are hand tuned by our expert gunsmiths
and set at a crisp three pounds. The flush mount, metal magazine
box is extremely durable and will provide a lifetime of use. In
22 LR, the magazine capacity is six rounds and has a five round
capacity in 17 HMR.
At the heart of this rimfire’s amazing accuracy is a button
rifled, 22-inch Shilen® barrel. These stress-relieved,
hand-lapped carbon steel barrels start with a high-precision
chamber (match-grade in 22 LR offering) and finish out with a
concave “dish” crown that protects the high grade rifling from
damage. Attention to fit-and-finish details and use of these
competition-quality barrels allow Remington to guarantee
sub-inch, five-shot group accuracy at 100 yards. Each Model 547
is accuracy tested in the stock, just as the end-user will
receive the gun, not in a slave fixture as most standard
accuracy tests are performed by other manufacturers; and our
gallery test target is included with each rifle.
The redesigned, fine-quality walnut stock mirrors the classic
lines of the Model 700 CDL™ with a straight comb; elegant black
grip cap and fore-end tip; and traditional cut-checkering on the
pistol grip and fore-end. The attractive satin finish on the
stock is complemented by a high-polish, “buffed” blued finish on
the receiver andbarrel. Your Model 547 comes furnished with an
attractive hard case and our guarantee of accuracy.
Singularly-crafted in the Remington Custom
Shop, the Model 547 Custom Classic Rimfire rifle is the
benchmark choice for the classic rimfire connoisseur or
dedicated rimfire competitor who wants a lifetime of unsurpassed
performance in a classically-crafted firearm.
