The Remington Model 572 is a pump-action rimfire rifle manufactured by the Remington Arms Company. It is noted for its similarity to the Remington 870 shotgun in design, and for being chambered in the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle cartridge as well as the less popular (and less well known) .22 Short and .22 Long cartridges. Ammunition is supplied by a tubular magazine under the barrel which holds 15-20 rounds depending on the caliber used. This ability to use all three cartridges is at variance with other pump action 22's which use only the long rifle.

The longevity(50 years running)of manufacture, speaks well of the popularity of this particular model, the durability of the action, and the overall reliability of this gun. Popular with "plinkers" and collectors both, along with being a good small game, or "camp" rifle.
