All rifles need to have the barrel cleaned from time to time, even rimfires. It’s not that difficult, as long as it is done with care and attention.

The Fieldmaster comes with a comprehensive guide, which outlines how to remove the barrel from the action. Some shooters tend to shy away from pump actions, as they consider them too difficult to clean. Do not try to put more in, as the tube and follower will not close properly. Number 15 will be visible in the open port of the magazine. Most 22 long rifle cartridges are packed in lots of 50 and it is easy to select 15 and drop them into the tubular magazine. Even a mix of these will work, but it would be pointless to do so, as impact points would be all over the place. Pump action rimfires are very ammunition tolerant, in that a shooter may use 22 shorts, 22 longs and the more common 22 long rifle, with capacities at 20, 17 and 15 respectively. If the tubular magazine is still in place, the end of the magazine follower can actually be seen in the open action. The trigger will be locked but the slide can move. The only way to remove these rounds is to work the slide backwards and forwards with the safety on. One can be in the chamber ready to fire and the other in the action. Removing the tubular magazine and emptying rounds out is fine, but two may still remain in the rifle. The problem comes when the shooter has finished and wishes to remove any remaining rounds from the rifle. In the ‘fire’ position, a red band is clearly visible. In the ‘safe’ position, the trigger is firmly locked. The Fieldmaster has a cross bolt safety fitted. With regard to safety, a little extra care is required when operating a pump action firearm. It is not recommended that any adjustments be made to the front sight. If the rifle shoots right or left, you should always move the rear windage sight in the direction you want the rifle to shoot. The rear sight has a ramp and adjustment for elevation can be easily made. These are adjusted at the factory, but the new owner will need to sight in at whatever distance they intend to do most of their shooting. The 21" barrel has a right hand one in 16 twist and comes with open sights fitted. Those who feel strongly about it can rub back the wood and oil it, but having done this on a 541S, it is quite a task. Some may feel that an oil finish would look better, but the Dupont finish should prove to be easier to maintain for general use. It has a high-gloss finish, which I was told is a Dupont RKW mix. This rifle features the usual high-grade American walnut stock, with custom chequering on the pistol grip and fore-end. The Fieldmaster 572 comes in two grades: a standard model and the BDL ‘Custom Deluxe’, which was the one I tested. (Some self-loaders were not reliable with anything less than high velocity ammunition.) Well, self-loaders are now banned and rabbits are harder to come by.

In the past, there were a number of professional rabbit shooters who preferred the pump action over the semi self-loaders, as they considered the former to be more reliable and not as sensitive to ammunition types. Pump action rimfires have been around for a very long time and although their popularity seems to have waned in recent years, they are still a lot of fun to shoot.
