Its large position-style hardwood stock further underscores the rifle’s role as a target platform. With a wide forend, a deep and stable grip, and an adjustable buttplate, the stock allows shooters to customize fit and maintain a steady hold from various supported or prone positions. As a single-shot bolt-action, the 540XR encourages deliberate, controlled shooting, making it a popular rifle for clubs, training programs, and competitive rimfire events. Overall, this model combines Remington’s precision-oriented engineering with classic target-rifle ergonomics, resulting in a stable, accurate, and highly specialized firearm.
