This Remington Model 581 is part of the 580-series produced from 1967–1983 and features the series' distinctive six-lug, rear-locking bolt design related to the Model 788. It pairs a 24-inch blued barrel and detachable 5-round magazine with open sights and a one-piece hardwood stock. Made in the United States, it includes integral 3/8 inch tip-off scope grooves, and the barrel legend references U.S. Patent No. 3,477,162.

The right-hand bolt uses a round knob, and the receiver is blued steel with factory-cut scope grooves for tip-off rings. The front sight is a fixed, unhooded blade on a short ramp, and the rear is a barrel-mounted open sight. The rifle is chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, and it feeds from a detachable 5-round box magazine; total capacity is 5+1.
The stock is a one-piece hardwood design with a straight comb and pistol grip. It is uncheckered and fitted with sling swivel studs. A steel Remington-logo checkered buttplate completes the classic rimfire configuration. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Additional markings include the barrel legend with "Made in U.S.A." and the referenced U.S. Patent No. 3,477,162. The Model 581’s combination of a 24-inch barrel, integral tip-off grooves, and magazine-fed operation makes it a practical rimfire from a notable Remington series.
