The Model 512 Sportmaster pairs a 24-inch barrel with an under-barrel tubular magazine for extended .22 rimfire capacity. The tube uses a knurled end cap and a loading port window, and capacity is listed at 15+1. The bolt-action design and receiver-mounted peep sight work well together for deliberate, accurate shooting with iron sights.
The barrel roll-mark reads: Remington Arms Co., Inc., Ilion, N.Y., Made in U.S.A., with Remington, SPORTMASTER, MODEL 512 and .22 SHORT, LONG, OR LONG RIFLE. This model is identified as the 512-X variant from the Sportmaster series and falls within the 1940–1962 production era in the United States.
Sighting is set up with a ramped front blade (no hood) and the aftermarket Williams receiver aperture rear sight. This peep arrangement provides a clear sight picture while keeping the rifle true to an iron-sight configuration.
