You did well buying the 581. I bought one for my son thirty years ago. It's still as accurate as ever and literally loves Winchester Super-X. I put a Leupold 3x9 rimfire on it for him and it's super accurate.
He's a USAF pilot, currently stationed in Okinawa, and has two boys of his own. He contacted me last year to say he needed another one so that each of the boys would have one (they're 4 and 6 years old). I was really lucky to find a gentleman in Florida who sold me his with an extra clip for $175. My son was really excited this Christmas as he brought the family home for Christmas and we got to shoot. The young fellows broke clay discs at 20 yards consistently (from the sandbags), and got a big kick out of scoring 25 yard targets. I, of course, was in hog heaven. Many thanks to the fine gentleman from Florida!
These are great rifles with excellent triggers and barrels. I believe they use the same barrelled action on the Remington 541-S, just an upgraded finish and a beautiful stock. Bet they don't shoot any better for about three times the price. I'd buy another one if I could find it, especially in left-hand!
