• Model 572A Fieldmaster • The Model 572A Fieldmaster was sold from 1956 through 1988; it had a 22.75 in barrel, an uncheckered hardwood pistol-grip stock. and a grooved forearm. • Model 572SB • Sold between 1961 and 1979, the 572 SmoothBore (Garden Gun) had a smoothbore barrel, but was otherwise the same as the 572A. • Model 572 BDL • In 1966, Remington introduced the BDL or "Deluxe" rifle to supplement the 572A and 572SB. The BDL featured a ramp front sight with gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight modeled after the sight used on Remington 700 big-game rifle, and a higher-grade walnut forearm and straight-comb butt stock with impressed checkering. In 1991, the walnut butt stock of the BDL Deluxe version was altered to incorporate a Monte Carlo comb to improve cheek weld when using the rifle with a telescopic sight, and the impressed checkering was altered to machine-cut checkering. In 2017, after complaints that the high Monte Carlo comb made the rifle difficult to use with open sights, Remington returned to a straight comb butt stock design for current production BDL rifles, until production ended in 2020.
