Featuring The Remington Model 582 

Thank you for sharing your hobby with us. It is enjoyable to see your excitement and passion for the Remington Classic 22 rifles. My grandfather recovered an old Marlin Model 10 single-shot 22 while working for Union Pacific Railroad. Someone discarded it along the tracks my gramps and his workmates were working on. He said they were burning tumbleweeds from the tracks and the little Marlin stock was lightly burnt. I inherited the rifle and refinished the stock with boiled linseed oil. It turned out great, but I kept the dark burnt spots as a tribute to Gramps and his adventures on the Union Pacific line. Thank you again. These old classics are more than rifles, they are true Americana!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The 582 is THE 22 rifle i had to have back in the 60s. I drove my dad crazy wanting one. I think they were about 60.00 back then. Dad ended up getting me a shotgun and he bought a 572 Remington pump 22. I bought tons of guns over all these years but didn't think about a 571 or 572 for some reason. Well bout 4 year ago I got that itch again and found a super clean 572 and a 570 single shot that was new in box. Next to my Cooper 57 the 572 is my favorite squirrel rifle. They are so accurate and sweet to shoot. Thanks for the video.

REALLY enjoy your videos & rifles, like how inspirational they are - Thanks fer sharing.

I've a model 581, left-hand bolt, from the 80s. It served as a great trainer for my 700 BDL, left-hand bolt action. They're sweet. Thank for the vid. Enjoy.

Very nice. I grew up in the 50s and 60s on my uncle's Model 512 Sportsmaster. Very similar looking to yours. His had a dovetail rear sight and I see that yours is somewhat of a better quality. Wonderful rifle. I could hit anything with that rifle. Had my picture in the local paper with it and a limit of 10 squirrels when I was 10 (1956).

Good things come to those who wait. I know you’ve been looking for a nice 582 for quite awhile, you hit the jackpot with this one. When I first started watching your channel a few years back, I had never given much thought to the 580 series guns. I was content with my 510, 511, 512, and 514’s. You sure convinced me, I now own a 580 SB, three 581’s, and two 582’s. I am yet to fire the 580 SB (smooth bore), but the others are all tack drivers. That is one fine looking 582. Your refinishing work really brought out the beauty of that mahogany stock. You’re probably going to buy another one, I have a feeling Alex is going to become attached to this one. He was really putting new meaning to recycling aluminum cans. I’m glad you like the shooting bag. I really like mine and naturally thought of you when I ordered this one. They really do grip the gun nicely. I value our friendship and am happy to help you, your channel, and viewers out with occasional donations. Keep bringing these great videos!!!

My very first gun was a 582. It shot straight as a Lazer. Thanks much for the show!

Thanks for another great vintage 22 video. Love my 22s

I would love to see your 581 with the burl maple stock. Thanks

I'm glad you finally found one. I love my 1979 model 582. Keep bringing us those vintage Remington videos, I enjoy all your content. Have a great day and God bless you and your family!

Sweetness CO. 👍 I have, by good fortune, a model 541S that is all you described. I would add that the metal finish is beautiful. Your stock finishing skills are exemplary.

Still miss mine that was stolen in the early 80's. I'll replace it when I find a good one. Must have shot 1000's of rounds through it. Tack driver imo.

Great channel, Sir! Love your .22 Series. Great find and magnificent stock work! God Bless...

Love your videos…always informative.

I haven't seen any 582's recently. Last fall I bought a like new 1975 581 which was deserving of a vintage Weaver 3-9 scope. Couple of weeks ago I found a 1967 581, (walnut stock, no serial number, small ejection port) with an old Bushnell 3-7 x20 scope, haven't fired it yet, but hope for similar accuracy. Next will be either a 513 T or 541 T. I didn't intend to buy it at first, but glad I did, a Remington 121 pump action. What a fun off hand rifle that is!

Oh man, you would have to have a video on the 582. Doggone it ! I know where there is one at my local gun shop, but I just bought a set of tires n can't afford it. Maybe he will do a lay away n I can pick it up in a month or two. I was wondering a bout the 582, but couldn't make up my mind if I wanted one or not. I guess now I do. Thanks alot.................😂

I have a 1930s Stevens Model 66 bolt action in .22 short, L & LR. It's by NO means a "high end" rifle but is in super condition and shoots LIGHTS OUT! Iron sights only with no way to install an optic, not that I need or even want one on it! I rarely miss a head shot on squirrels or rabbits. It originally had some kind of diopter target sights but the actual diopter was missing when I got it. So I just installed a set of old buckhorn sights and kept the front target post. I love the old thing!

Bought one at a local auction. Scoped it with a Sightron 3-9x and took it to the range. Shot a 3/8" 3-shot triangle at a hundred yards with Win. Wildcat white box. The 580-series may be the best kept secret ever for a relatively low budget .22.

This is the problem with these videos. Now I have too go out and buy two more rifles for my gun collection. 581 and 582 and some marlins. I always thought Winchester was the top dog with savage.

....things sure are not made like they use to make, economical & affordable is basically junk, & quality, for the most part, can be out of reach,....America is no longer the America as us boomers, & close to it on either end, grew up in.

That’s a good shooter. I hope the 582 I recently picked up shoots as well. The rear sight blade is missing so I can’t tell. I have a scope ordered for it but it’s on back order. I got lucky as mine is in as good shape as yours. I also paid the same price! It’s a 1967 with a serial number under 100.

I hope now that Remington is under ownership that cares about quality and rid of the Freedom Group, that they will bring back those quality rimfires. As well I would like to see the pump and semi-auto centerfires come back.

I have a question for you, Are your Burris classic rings low or med. height,

Darn it Tom !! now I'm going to have to go look for a 582 !!! OH Well...the 'hunt' is half the fun !!!!

Beautiful!

as everyone has already said thanks for another great video. I've also been bitten by the 580 series guns since watching your videos I have bought two 581's, One is a first year 67 that looks like a mahogany stock but not sure. And I believe the second is a 1981with mystery wood. Also bought what I think Is a mahogany stock that I want to swap out the 81 with mystery wood. I'm in the process of getting materials to do a 511 magazine modification. Wish me luck. LOL

Cumberland: I just received a early model 69A that's 98% condition. Can I or should I go over the original finish with Tru Oil to make it more shiny? Thx

Great job on that little 582 keep the videos coming.

I got a 582 handed down from my late grandfather over 10 years ago. It was used by my Uncle for ROTC back when he was in high school in the late 60s/early 70s. After that use, it essentially sat in my grandfathers closet for 40something years. I wish I could say it's what I was taught to shoot with but alas, grandpa wasn't a firearms enthusiast. I'm surprised it remained in his closet and wasn't sold. The only thing wrong with it was the safety/bolt release was snapped off so I had that fixed and I shoot it from time-to-time to this day. I've kept it basic, no scope or anything. It's just a plinking gun that I shoot for fun with the iron sights. I got a Ruger American Rimfire with a Burris Droptine Rimfire Scope and Magpul bipod that's also fun but the action on the old Remington is buttery smooth at this point. I'm not sure how much it was shot before being retired to my grandfathers closet for decades but I've got over 1000 rds through it and it shoots great. Also, I think you're hard pressed to find a .22 bolt action with a 24" barrel these days. Most .22LR bolt action rifles seem to be 18", 20" or 22". I guess there's arguments to be had that you're not gaining any velocity past a certain barrel length but regardless, my old 582 shoots great.

Good job from start to finish Phil Chicago

Happy St. Patricks Day ! And another well done video on Classic Remington Rimfires . Stepped inside while changing oil on the wifes vehicle , and up pops a new Cumberland Outdoorsman . Well worth the time to watch . GR8 to watch a Marksman and artisan exhibit his crafts . Also proud to see you pass it on to the grandson . Patience in all things does wonders . Observation , keen intellect , and the ability to not be "impulsive" , will help in many of Lifes matters . Best wishes to you , and yours 🍀

When I was a kid, a friend of mine had one of those. Very nice gun always wanted one.

I couldn’t resist. After watching this video, I turned around and bought another 582 tonight on GunBroker. This one is a 1968 model with a walnut stock. The metal looks good and the stock has what was described as a few finish depth scrapes. I’m going to apply your refinishing guidelines to this stock. Wish me luck. One of my 582’s has the mahogany stock and when I got it, it had one little scuffed spot on the side of the stock. I just buffed the spot lightly with some 0000 steel wool and touched it up with TruOil. Turned out great.

almost a new rifle there ,Tom... my left hand 581 has some bluing wear but my stock is in great shape for its age..and I bought that little rifle new in 1974

My 582 is the most accurate 22 I have ever shot. I am 78. I did not want my stock shiny. I refinished mine with boiled linseed oil. Beautiful.

Nice rifle. Enjoyed it sir!!

I bought my 582 in the 70'ssed for $75 and refinished the stock. The metal was excellent. I put an aperture sight and a higher fiber optic front sight on it to allow it to match my Krag with an aperture sight. Slim and light the 582 is a perfect walking gun.

I recently came across a 581 left hand version so I had to pick it up. I was able to get it for the price you got your but the metal is in really good shape and the wood is decent. I believe this is the only model of these three rifles Remington offered in a left hand variant, like a left handed 788 it still ejects from the right side. Awesome little shooter.

Got my 581 in 1975. Was 10 years old. Santa ( mom) was buying 3 of them . Huge feat back then. My brothers and I wanted the 582 and it wasnt much more money. 581 came with a piece that went in place of the magazine to make it a single shot. Mom said that if we argued that we would get the 580 instead. Settled for the 581. The single shot adaptors never got installed.

My first rifle is a 582, and I still have it. I wonder of the reason you can't find a 582 is that those of us who already have one want to keep it. The 582 is the most accurate rifle I own, and the most fun to shoot.

What a lovely, high condition old 22 you found. The mahogany stock is as gorgeous as they come and very unique, don’t think I’ve ever seen one. Thanks for a fun evening at your range!!

It sucks being left handed sometimes!!!

You sure do a fine job of finishing a stock! I wish I could do that, guess I'll have to practice. Beautiful job!

Glad to see you finally got a 582!! One of my best shooting rifles i have!!

Great video, and great rifle Tom. Thanks for sharing it with us. JT

can you provide a part number for the Burris gloss black deluxe 3/8 grooved Low scope rings. I can fine med. and high but no lows. Thanks

I appreciate you showing groups, so many youtubers only show shooting steel, being able to hit an 8 inch circle at 20 yards tells me nothing about its accuracy potential. .

Ya I was looking for a Rossi 62 a couldn't find one in 10 yrs I walked into a shop 200 in the box unfired an olld guy owned it and died rip .man it shoots

Wow, that mahogany really looks great. Thanks for showing it to us! I knew it was a red wood but didn't know the grain looked so nice.

I had a 582 in college back in the early 1980s. The mag tube stopped at the end of the forearm. I've never seen another one like it. I recently revived a much-neglected 581. Thst was an experience.😊

I enjoy hunting with my 581. Nice Old rifles for the price. It’s not a 54-action Anschutz or Cooper but gets the job done.

👌nice

I enjoyed the video, really liked the end shooting the pop cans with your grandson. I should try that with my kids. I think they would like seeing the cans blow up. Thanks for your kind, down to earth style. Looking forward to your turkey videos!!!!

Thanks for another great video. Your Remington .22's are great rifles and you do a great job shooting and gunsmithing. That is a beautiful rifle.

I think I would like the 582 more than my 581.

I just bought a bag like that one and the,2bag combo set from Natches

I have a 582 I bought brand new from my local shop back in the 70s, I think it was around $80 brand new. Best gun I've ever owned. It shoots everything from CBs to LR extremely accurate. The only thing it never liked was the Stingers when they came out. They we're a little wild with not very good groups. Every other ammo can hit a dime every time. I also have a 70's 581 and between the two a lot of varmints to a dirt nap. Have been looking for a 580 for a few years just to have all 3.

Nice vedio me too have same rifle

Great Video of some very nice Looking Guns and Good shooting as well !

I like it!👍

What is the difference in a 22 Long & a 22 Long Rifle cartridges?? Sadly ive never knew ive only shot Long Rifle & a few Shorts & some CB's

Purdie

I really enjoyed the 582 with mahogany stock review. I just picked up a 581 in 95 % condition. I knew the stock was not walnut because of the redish color and the grain. Your review really helped me understand what I had purchased. there was no magazine so I found what was sold as a Remington factory mag, but it was plastic. may it is maybe not. And I just was given as a gift a Marlin model 35, in nice condition, another addition to my growing vintage 22 rifle collection. Keep up the great information. Kirk

Congrats .I have a friend that has one we used to hunt chucks with his and my Savage so he says ill bet ya 50 you can't hit that dove on the other side of the field doves were in season one shot with his rem nothing but feathers lol

I just heard about CorrosionX Marine-grade industrial strength rust inhibitor from another firearms enthusiast. Said it beats any oil application he's ever used before, especially for those firearms that have seen rain. He sprays a swab and runs it down the bore before storage as well.

Nice! Can’t wait to find one like that one!

Thanks for your vid

Another great video! What do you think of silicone cloths which can be made or bought. Both protect but which one would last longer? Would one be better or worse on the wood? Thanks
