Remington Scoremaster 511

[tacshooter223]

I inherited one from my grandfather a while back and was recently debating on building a .22 trainer. I then decided that I could just update this .22 a little and use it. I was either thinking getting it drilled and tapped for some target peep sights such as these.

OR
Finding a base that will fit it and throwing some optics on it. I will be shooting mostly at 100 yards, and probably not hunting with it. I may stretch it out to 200 and 300 for fun but not expecting much at all from it past 200. If anyone has one and wants to post an accuracy review or anything of that sort, that would be great.

I may either modify the current stock to look more A5-ish like this guy did http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2308036&page=1
unless anyone knows where I can find some accessories for this little beauty.

This is what it looks like now http://www.gunslot.com/pictures/22-remington-scoremaster-511

I have 2 513T's and a 521T....

Unless yours is pristine the best its worth (other than sentimental value) is about $75-$200. If you have no qualms about having it drilled and tapped, you can go to Midwayusa and order two Weaver #43 bases and have them mounted on the reciever. It clears the action port nicely and isnt too high with the larger objective.

I'm not sure if you plan on running peeps or a scope...but this will make it easy to get weaver style rings on it. My 513T has an older Micro-Trac 10X Weaver Target model. Now I'm not sure how your exact results will be (will vary with scope and whatnot)but with my setup it allowed me to dial the Weaver out to 365yds using federal bulk ammo.

My other 513T is what I believe is actually a 511 someone converted to 513T specs...it has been sidelined till i can find an ammo it likes. Ive shot the whole series and they are fun guns and can almost but not quite compete with the 40X's. There triggers can be adjusted and tuned up. Throw on a good scope and your in business. </div></div>
Thank you DFOOSKING thats pretty much what I was looking for.

Do I need this http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/Bro...yString=657***8705***11683***13935***13936***
AND

Or just two #43s?

Re: Remington Scoremaster 511

I had a Scoremaster and a Fieldmaster at one time. They are pretty accurate, and much better made than the cheaper new rimfires. Really nice ones are getting good money nowdays, shooter grade ones not so much. I had my Scoremaster drilled and tapped for a one piece base, mounted up a leupold 4-12x40. I refinished the walnut stock and it was beautiful.

Re: Remington Scoremaster 511

Ok thanks guys. I'm actually thinking of putting some cheaper competition peep sights on this thing just for the fun of it.

Re: Remington Scoremaster 511

i just picked one up last night for $80 and it has 10 round mag and adjustable peep sights. Really cool rifles and every one ive owned over the yrs has shot well.

The one i picked up last night has the rear peap mounted on the left rear and the stock has a step down as well and all is factory of course as the P variant came with peeps. I looked on Wikepedia and found pretty good info and variant break down. My rifle says Scoremaster 511P and it has a storage spot for two different peeps, very cool. Ill take a pic later tonight when i get home and post here.

511A (Standard; open sight mounted on the barrel)
511P (Peep sight mounted on the rear of the receiver)
511SB (Smoothbore for .22 LR shot cartridges)
511X (Improved sights)


Good luck on the upgrade and these rifles are defineatly worth putting a couple bucks into as they out shoot most of the heavy barrelled 22s.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DFOOSKING</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My solution gives you a 2 piece base setup...which isn't popular for those wanting canted bases. But if in the future you need more cant youll probably be able to find burris zee rings. If this doesn't sound to your liking you can try finding a 1 piece base with a contour that matches your reciever from another rimfire and drill for it. Or maybe contact base maker and have a custom job made for you...won't be too expensive if you want it bad enough.

Assuming he uses a 'smith that knows whats going on and can drll holes on the top of the receiver, couldn't he go with an angled base from something like a Savage MKII/93, or one of the other round-receiver bolt actions? Wouldn't it just be a matter of finding something with the same contour and some "meat" under the mounting holes?
