Remington 582 (bolt action, tube feed, .22s, l, lr)

[elkhunt58]

I've enjoyed Ruger 10/22's for decades now, but from time to time want to shoot shorts so I started looking for a bolt action tube feed .22. I was in my local gun store yesterday and spotted a nice Remington 582, with a throw a way, 4x Bushnell scope/mount unit. It has the mahogany stock, 24" barrel and it still has the rear sight. It's in good shape, the metal being very nice, the wood has typical patina. I offered him $100 and he obliged. With that long barrel and Remington C-Bee shorts, it should be just the ticket for that occasional critter too close to the house. It's fun to add another vintage American rifle to the herd. The bore is bright and the trigger is quite nice. Bought some rings, now I need to find a cheap scope for it, then I look forward to sage rat season.

I have a 581 and a 582, I like them both. My 582 suffers from light strike though, I need to work on it,,,

Pretty good deal you got,,,

I've got a single shot 580, great little rifle. I put a Primary Arms 6X Rimfire ACSS scope on mine, good reticle for my uses, and decent glass. I used Leupold Rifleman (?) rings to mount it, they're the ones with the vertical split, and allow for a very low scope mount.

The firing pin feels a little light... I am soaking the bolt in solvent. But I haven't shot it to find out if it is light.

I'm looking for something like this in a left hand. I had a mag fed Mossberg but it had problems and was right handed so I gave it away.

Have a 582.......nice shooter it was until I scrubbed the barrel real good. Then it wouldn't shoot for snot. Turns out the steel is rather soft and I scrubbed the rifling right out out of it. It still looked good on inspection but the lands were pretty much gone. So beware when cleaning,,,,,,GO EASY.
Since The rifle has been re-barreled and shoots great again. Now I have the only 582 with a 581 stamped barrel.
