Not a 511 but its single shot brother, a 510P Targetmaster. This one dates to November 1961. Very nice handling and lightweight even with a 25" barrel. That long barrel really helps accuracy with the factory peep sight. Speaking of, it looks funny sticking up like that but it's very functional and adjustable for windage and elevation. The larger knurled nut holding it on is actually a second aperture so you get two, one with a fine hole for target work and another with a larger hole for field use. Those old Remingtons were considered budget rifles in the day but they hold their own pretty well with a lot of modern rifles. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/91399.jpg)
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Nice model 10, I have had one p model. Another thing that seems consistent is these rifles tend to be accurate. Budget models or not they are well made and still reasonable priced to put a collection together if that floats your boat.
There are even some that were made with the nylon stock. If you happen to like semi automatic they made the 550-1 wich is built on the same action.

511 was my first bolt 22. Picked up at a yard sale with out a bolt. Fixed that in short order.
I just gave my brother inlaw a 511 as his first 22 rifle. He seems to love it. I have 2 512x, a 513s and a 513t that a buddy gave me. Im going to take one or both of the 512x to the gun show this weekend will price them around the $300 mark maybe slightly more. Sad part os I can part them out for more than I cam sell them for. Cabela’s has beat ip 511 that someone carved on the stock & not very well. They are asking $169 Where is this gun show? Thanks

They just dont make them like that anymore! 510, 511, 512, the entire 5 series are all worth owning. I have had them all

Took mine out to the desert today. At this point it shoots a lot better than I do. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/215074.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/215073.jpg)

I have a 510 Targetmaster made in December of 1941. Love that rifle, I have killed a ton of g-hogs with that gun. I will not sell it. It is my favorite 22 rifle.
