Why this Single Shot stands out

The REMINGTON M540XR Target draws on Remington’s legacy for accurate rimfire platforms. Chambered in .22 LR, it delivers low recoil, economical ammunition costs, and consistent trajectories well suited for target practice, smallbore competition, and precision training. The newly refinished stock and barrel improve aesthetics and protect the rifle while retaining function; expect only minor cosmetic blemishes as noted in the listing.

Included optics and ergonomics

The included Aim Sports 4×32 scope is a practical match for the rifle’s intended use—fixed magnification reduces dialing complexity in competition and training. The lack of a buttstock pad is a user consideration; some shooters prefer adding a thin pad to adjust length-of-pull feel for bench or prone positions.

Performance, maintenance, and setup

The bolt-single action on the M540XR Target encourages deliberate shot process and helps build fundamentals. For peak accuracy with .22 LR, test a few ammo types to find the best-performing match or high-quality subsonic loads. Maintain the refinished barrel with regular, careful cleaning to preserve accuracy and the newly applied finish.

At a listed price of $700.99, this REMINGTON M540XR Target represents a focused option for shooters seeking a clean single-shot target rifle with an included optic and recent refinishing. View product details and pricing
