The Remington Model 572 Fieldmaster is a slide action, .22-caliber rifle manufactured by Remington Arms. First introduced to the commercial market in 1956, the 572 Fieldmaster rifle incorporates a tubular magazine capable of feeding .22 Short, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges, a cross-bolt safety, and an aluminum receiver grooved for scope mounts.^[2] The original Fieldmaster used a 22.75-inch barrel.^[4] The Model 572 uses many of the design features first introduced on the Remington Model 870 shotgun, and replaced the Model 121 Fieldmaster as the company's slide-action rimfire repeater.^[1]

Variants

Model 572A Fieldmaster: Introduced in 1956 as well, the 572A featured a 22.75 in (57.8 cm) barrel, an uncheckered hardwood pistol-grip stock and a grooved forearm. It was discontinued in 1988.^[3]
Model 572SB: Introduced in 1961 the 572 SmoothBore had the same specs as the Model 572A except with a smoothbore barrel. It was discontinued in 1979.^[3]
Model 572 BDL: In 1966, Remington introduced the BDL or "Deluxe" rifle to supplement the 572A and 572SB. The BDL featured a ramp front sight with gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight modeled after the sight used on Remington 700 big-game rifle, and a higher-grade walnut forearm and buttstock with impressed checkering. The BDL is the only 572 model currently in production.^[5]
