One of those has been in my family tree for over 50 years. First my brother, then me and finally, his son. It remarkably accurate with whatever you shot it with. Killed a heap of pesky critters with it back in the '80s and early '90s.
I am..........disturbed.

Fun 22s .I had one years ago and traded it on something. Found another at a local pawnshop last year. Put an older gloss Burris out of the classifieds on it. Shoots pretty well ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/N0kwRpqQ/IMG-20240505-085553.jpg)

Nice rifle. Needs a vintage scope, though.

572 was the first gun I bought with my own money, 1973 I think. Dad did the paperwork. Back then you had to sign a book when you bought ammo.
Lots of adventures with that gun.

I like the heft of it . I pack mine a bunch and being a leftie it is handy.When you grab it to go you 16 in it (+or minus ? )

Only 2 issues with a 572. Receiver anodizing gets easily marked up, and forend rattle. Starling zapper when stoked full of CB shorts  Pops had a pre 68 receiver/stock and I ended up with it. Has trigger assembly. Dunno how much parts would be to finish it out.

I have killed a lot of things with one.

The Fieldmaster was my first rifle. My parents weren't gun people but a friend of my dads was. I lusted for a Nylon 66 at the time. Mr. McCready steered me to the pump gun. He told me "You know when it's loaded because you loaded it". It was also the first gun my brother bought when he wanted a 22. Sadly he's no longer with us and for years I had both of them and recently gifted one to another brother.

Mine is a Model 121. It is a 1938 or 9 year model. It has been in the family since new. It has killed hundreds of cows and pigs. It was used on the farm to dispatch the animals for slaughter. Now it sits most of the time in my safe.

My two brothers & I shared an H&R 20ga. - I liked rifles better- saved up and bought a new Rem. 572 about 1975. Maybe around $150?
The models pictured here are ADL? as was mine.
The BDL had nice checkering, my stepdad had that model.
Me too, on the 'many adventures' with the 572.

Nice rifle. Needs a vintage scope, though. We have a Leupold 2x7 on a 572 and like that setup. Good rifles for left handed people.
