I'm poking around for a heavy barrel trainer. I have a 52B reproduction, but would like to pick up something with a heavier barrel. The 541T guns look to have a slight following, with the S model having the rep of being more accurate. I would like to have a 40X, but may end up settling for a 541 or 504T. I don't want to put the big money in an Annie just yet, and don't want to budget my way in and not be happy.
Anyone running a Remington 541T for a trainer?

Re: Anyone running a Remington 541T for a trainer?
541T's are preferred simply for the triggers over a 513T. 541, 540Xr and 581's are essentially the same rifle and good triggers can be had especially from the 540XR's. 541/81's have crappy mags but hell they only hold 5 rounds and if you don't step on them they will last a good while. Both are/can be made into good shooters. The 513/541 stocks are EXTERNALLY identical and very similar to the Winchester Marksman stocks of long ago or the HS Precision / PSS stocks of today. The 541T is not a bad rifle to start with and upgrade as you see fit.
Cheers,
Doc

I have had a 541S for many years... Frankly, I love it... It shoots nickel size groups at 100yds with Federal Grey box ammmo...
I tweeked the trigger... Breaks perfect at about 1.5-2lbs..

I have a remmy 541T-HB that I did the whole conversion to....tactical knob on the bolt handle, trigger work, custom made Manners stock, bipod and Leupold Mk 4.LUV IT! Feels right, looks right, shoots like a demon.Was it cheap? Nope....but I don't regret it for a second. Go for it!
