Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington 540X Target is a purpose-built rimfire target rifle that channels Remington’s long history of precision smallbore tooling into a compact, competition-ready package. Built around a rigid, bolt-action receiver and a heavy, match-contour barrel, the 540X emphasizes harmonic stability and repeatable barrel harmonics—key ingredients for consistent group performance with .22 Long Rifle ammunition. The platform typically features a crisp, adjustable two-stage or match-style trigger, a fully adjustable rear sight (or a receiver drilled and tapped for optics), and a bedding system designed to isolate the action and promote consistent point of impact. Ergonomic touches such as an adjustable cheekpiece, length-of-pull options, and a well-designed target stock contribute to steady hold and rapid sight recovery, making the 540X well-suited to bench, prone, and position shooting disciplines.

Functionally, the 540X is aimed at shooters who demand out-of-the-box accuracy and ease of tuning for competitive environments or serious practice. Its bolt lockup and bedding translate to tight, predictable groups, while the match trigger and well-dressed barrel let shooters exploit the best ammunition available without excessive tuning. The rifle balances a durable, serviceable construction with thoughtful target-grade appointments—offering the kind of consistency and ergonomics that appeal to clubs, instructors, and dedicated smallbore competitors. Whether used for formal matches, youth marksmanship programs, or focused precision practice, the Remington 540X Target stands as a capable, well-engineered smallbore rifle that combines proven mechanical fundamentals with the refinements competitive shooters expect.
