Wouldn't say "perfect" but it's my favorite;
I think this is the second run for Remington? Found this 541S next to an equally mint fat barreled T model on a "used" rack a waaay long time ago. Having been down the, "must be fat brrl road for too long".... road,I didn't even pick the heavier one up. Snagged this sporter for a little more than what a used Marlin 60 goes for?
It was love at first sight. Then fell up on the perfect little scope for it. Was at a well attended gun store whilst visiting in laws just S of D.C. Clark Bros in Warrenton Va. Perusing their used scope display case,hiding in the corner,behind/under all these giant scopes that were coming into vogue.....
Was this small,cute as a button Burris 4X,1" with 32? mm objective. Standing there yackin with the nice salesman,asked if I could bring the 541 in and see what it looked like. He was very nice and basically gave me the scope for free when paying retail for the Redfield base and rings that mated it to the gun. He said I was the 1st person who ever looked at it? German post reticle.
Had that scope on there and was just a peachy rig for 15 or so years. My #2 son surprised me with a NOS,Redfield 5star straight 6X, a few years ago. It too is/was a scope that no one was interested in and he got it for what Chinese doodoo scopes go for these days. Very crummy pic,will get it out and snap some "glamor" shots in the field. This was when first mounting the Redfield.
Would be called a liar telling of groups it'll produce. Completely unmolested,has factory adj trigger that's never been touched.... factory bedding(there ain't none),and appeared to be never shot when I got it. Very plain,straight grained walnut stock. Absolute death ray on small game.

I have a "new" Remington 504 that I happened to see at a Discount Salvage store in Maine. The other guys in line were clamering to get their hands on centerfire Remingtons, etc. but I spied this brand-new Rem 504 .22LR and grabbed it and never let it go until paying and putting it in my trunk.
