Hello
I came across this Older classic Remington 510-X Target Master Last weekend at a gun show. The owner of it was carrying it around trying to sell it, so I swapped him a North American Arms .22 LR Mini revolver for it. He said he had bought it new in the mid 1960's and that it was a good shooter. I have been looking for an accurate .22 rifle to hunt Fox squirrel's with here in the East Tennessee Mountains and this one seemed to fit the bill. I brought it home, mounted an Old Redfield Cub scope of 4-X I had laying around and headed off to the range. Shown below is a Five shot group it produced once I got the scope dialed in at the 25 Yard line...I think Remington knew what they were doing when they named this one The Target Master...

I have a 512-X and it too is stupid accurate. There pretty rare and worth hanging to IMO. Did yours come with the factory sights?
I'll bet you a $1000.00 you couldn't shoot the N.A.Arms like that!Thats a good trade in my opinion.

Hello passport
Yes, it did have the factory rear sight in place. It had an elevation thumb wheel adjustment on it and a shrouded metal blued cover that met the barrel nicely. I took it off and it is stored in my safe in a Plastic bag as the scope would not clear it when I mounted it...
Years ago, I bought a Remington Model 511 Scoremaster .22 rifle. It is the 5 shot magazine model. I put a Redfield 4x Cub scope on it. For many years, this was my favorite squirrel hunting rig. I still have it and it is a very accurate rifle. I love the 500 series Remington .22 rifles.
Just for grins here is my 511-X. When I bought it the wood was a mess, had a bubba stock job so I gave it a full oil finish. I was pretty sure there was a nice stock under the mess...

I put a period correct Wever 4x on and it will shoot.
