The Remington Model 550-1 is a classic semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle that reflects Remington’s post–World War II focus on producing reliable, versatile sporting arms for a broad shooting audience. Manufactured from 1946 through 1970, with production totaling approximately 730,000 units, the 550-1 was chambered to fire .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably without manual adjustment—an attribute that set it apart from many semi-automatic rimfires of its era.

Its open iron sights and straightforward configuration made it suitable for plinking, small-game hunting, and general recreational shooting.

From a design standpoint, the Model 550-1 emphasized durability and simplicity over refinement. The action utilized a single extractor and a robust operating system designed for long service life and easy maintenance. A plain one-piece pistol-grip stock, typically of hardwood, provided a traditional sporting profile while keeping weight and cost reasonable. Although not intended as a target-grade rifle, the 550-1 earned a strong reputation for reliability and practical accuracy, helping it become one of Remington’s most successful rimfire models. Today, it is widely regarded as a quintessential mid-20th-century American .22 rifle, valued by shooters and collectors alike for its versatility, longevity, and proven design.
