Remington produced the Model 511 Scoremaster from 1939 to 1963, with approximately 381,267 made. This example reflects that period with its blued steel receiver and barrel, wood stock, and classic rimfire bolt-action layout. The turned-down bolt handle offers a comfortable, low-profile stroke typical of the model.
The 25-inch steel barrel is roll-marked ".22 SHORT, LONG OR LONG RIFLE," indicating compatibility across the common .22 rimfire lengths. Sighting equipment includes a front sight with protective ears, and a scope mount is installed that currently hosts the vintage small-tube scope. Iron-sight configuration may vary depending on setup.
Stock features include a straight comb, semi-pistol-grip profile, and an uncheckered wood finish that fits the rifle’s utilitarian design. Hardware is period-correct, with a steel, checkered buttplate marked "Remington," a barrel-band front sling swivel, and a rear stock swivel. A leather sling is installed.
The rifle presents in a full-size format with a 13.5-inch length of pull for a traditional feel. Construction is all steel and wood with a blued finish, aligning with Remington’s build practices of the time. The two-letter barrel stamp "AM" is present, and the installed mounting setup pairs cleanly with the included small-tube scope.
The Model 511’s detachable-box magazine design and straightforward bolt-action operation made it a mainstay rimfire for decades. This example keeps that character intact, pairing its mounted vintage scope with flexible rimfire shooting options.
