Gil,
I never owned a Rem 581 but I've shot them and have several friends who own them. Back in the late 70s, an old friend and I bought Rem 541S rifles, which are nothing more than fancied-up 581s. I didn't mind the plain-Jane stock on the 581 but the 541S came with an adjustable trigger, which I considered essential. Big Green was pretty accomodating in those days and one friend borrowed my user's manual and ordered a 541S trigger assembly to put on his 581. It worked great. Remington soon stopped selling 541S parts for this kind of interchange. I now have 2 541S rifles -- one for hunting and one for sporter silhouette competition.
They are great rifles that I wouldn't part with. If you can swallow the big price, the Anschutz model 1700 variations are super. IMHO, the CZ452s are the best value for the money today.
