What a nice little 22. Feeds and shoots everything! Almost as nice as a 52....maybe. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/VYoznb6.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/cLb7vwz.jpg)

Very nice rifle Jorge, but I'm a little confused, you're buying Remington rifles?

Very nice rifle Jorge, but I'm a little confused, you're buying Remington rifles? His friends are planning an intervention next time we're together.

Jorge1: Good for you - that looks like a very clean Rifle!
What "part" of that 521-T makes it a "Junior"?
The pictures don't define that for me.
I have owned 521-T's and they indeed do function very well and gave very good accuracy.
Your "comparison" though, of the 521-T to a Winchester Model 52 is, well, overly generous/optimistic.
I would contend that the Remington 521-T is "almost as nice" as a Winchester Model 75 Target.
Enjoy that fine Rifle.

IT says :Junior" on the barrel and it's a lot shorter than the regular 521-T

Thanks again.

Nice rifles. Was either the first or second 22LR rifle I ever owned. IIRC, the 521T count in my safe is up to 4. As to being as nice as a Win 52, the jury is gonna be out some time on that one.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

The first rifle I ever fired at about 3 years of age, sitting on the ground in front of my dad, rifle rested across his knee.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

anyone own a 521 T and a junior special? I'd like to see side by side pics to see if there really are any differences.

It’s my understanding that Junior referred to a class of small-bore competition determined by rifle size/weight/configuration and not that the rifle was intended for kids. I know mine is definitely a full-sized rifle. I know a friend of mine had a 513 T that was more of an all-out target rifle. I seem to recall Remington promoting the 521 T as a combination target/field rifle in ‘60’s promotional literature. I could be wrong about any or all the above, being old and not having the best mind to begin with.
