Our Assessment: This is a beautifully crafted Model 547 Classic rifle made by Remington Custom Shop sometime in the early 2000s. Remington's old promotion material states, "Based on the Model 504 platform, the Model 547 is the end result of engineering redesign combined with premium components and subtle refinements to produce a rifle that carries an unparalleled accuracy guarantee. The Model 547 is masterfully-crafted in the Remington Custom Shop, available in traditional, match-chambered 22 LR and lightning-fast, medium range 17 HMR chambering. Based on the Model 504 rimfire design, the Model 547 has many detailed features that enhance its performance - a receiver machined from a solid bar of steel with a rear lock-up design; positive bedded action with twin takedown screws; dual extractors for positive feeding; and advanced barrel clamp design that provides a strong action-to-barrel union... All triggers are hand tuned by our expert gunsmiths and set at a crisp three pounds... At the heart of this rimfire’s amazing accuracy is a button rifled, 22-inch Shilen barrel. These stress-relieved, hand-lapped carbon steel barrels start with a high-precision chamber (match-grade in 22 LR offering) and finish out with a concave 'dish' crown that protects the high grade rifling from damage. Attention to fit-and-finish details and use of these competition-quality barrels allow Remington to guarantee sub-inch, five-shot group accuracy at 100 yards. Each Model 547 is accuracy tested in the stock, just as the end-user will receive the gun, not in a slave fixture as most standard accuracy tests are performed by other manufacturers... The attractive satin finish on the stock is complemented by a high-polish, 'buffed' blued finish on the receiver and barrel..."

This example is in Excellent condition, showing little to no sign of use. While the promotional material indicates a 22" barrel, all our observed examples have, in fact, had 23" barrels. Chambered for the zippy .17 HMR cartridge, this exquisite Remington Custom Shop Model 547 Classic will be perfect for varmints, but will also be a great addition for the dedicated Remington collector.
