Remington 510 Targetmaster

[@arthurbradshaw7035]

My first rifle, my dad bought me one in 1961. It had a peep sight on it. Really accurate, like a dumbell, I gave it to a young'un around 1975

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

You may have made that young'un really happy! I just hope he was responsible with it. You'll probably never get that particular one back, but there are still a lot of them out there. Thanks for watching!

[@thomasmoje5926]

I have a Remington 510 Targetmaster smooth bore version. Great condition. Perfect pest control tool for small critters in my barn with .22 long rifle bird shot loads. What strikes me is the 'old school' build; no plastic parts except for the butt plate.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Most things built back then were made to last a long time. When they figured out the concept of "planned obsolescence" it started going down hill. Thanks for watching!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Nice rifle. Like looking at these old bolt actions.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

They're fun to get out and plink with too. Thanks for watching Santee!

[@toddgillison7210]

I had my Dad’s 1941. It now resides in my Son’s safe. You did well on your purchase!! Over the years, I never really found a round it didn’t like. Enjoy!!

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@williammoskovitz7772]

Great review !!! I've got a 550-1 semi auto in pristine condition that's fully functional

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Right on! Keep it clean, properly lubricated and well loved, it should stay that way for a long time. Thanks for watching!

[@georgeware1692]

I have had 3. 1 i kept for myself; 1 I gave to my daughter that came from her mat.grandfather and the 3rd I gave to my grandson. It was my grandfather's. (his great-great grandfather). All are in great condition with gorgeous furniture. Just trying to keep it all in the family.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Excellent! I love to see them move on to the next generation. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@marstondavis]

I have lot of fun with my 510. So will you. They're great shooters.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I think I'll have to agree with you! Thanks for watching!

[@WalnutandSteel]

I love the Remington 500 series rifles. I have had several over the years, at the moment I only have 3 513-t’s and 1 521-t

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Nice! I hope to pick up a few more in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@maineiacoutdoors689]

NICE!! Now I wanna take dad's old H&R Pioneer 765 out. It was made right around the same time as your 510. All us kids learned to shoot with it and I taught my wife (Annie Oakly 2.0) to shoot with it.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I enjoy doing a little plinking with some of the old classics. Get it out and knock the dust off of it! Thanks for watching!

[@tonyzila5071]

My first rifle was a model 514 .22 single shot still have it

[@RichZoe]

Gotta love the 514

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

That's fantastic! Thanks for watching!

[@TomSherwood-z5l]

I once had a Remington .22 bolt action with the tubular mag. Long skinny barrel etc. It was a 500 series model but I forget which. I never thought of it as a "target" rifle just because of what it was but I mounted a pretty good scope on it and found it to be a real tack driver, better than my .22 autos in that respect. Of course that was in my tradin days so it went the way of many fine rifles only to leave regrets later on. Especially painful pangs at today's prices.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I like to hang on to them, even if they're not great firearms. Thanks for watching!

[@ethanlightcap425]

Nice looking 510! I picked up a 512 last month, and am quite pleased with it. They are definitely a piece of history

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Thanks! I think I'm going to have to make it a goal to get one of each model in the series. It may take me a while but I'll keep looking. Thanks for watching!

[@ethanlightcap425]

My 510 is on the third generation of family ownership,well made 22.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

That's my favorite gun story of all! Pass them on to the next generation!

[@vanessaaustin6529]

I bought a 510 several years ago from a local dealer in very nice condition. Mine has a chromed bolt.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

The early ones had the color case hardened bolts and the later ones had chrome. That's what I read anyway. Thanks for watching!

[@Siskiyous6]

I love the 510 TargetMaster

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Easy to understand why. Thanks for watching!

[@yz250ftony]

I have one with the removable magazine. 6(flush) and 10 round. Pretty long rifled barrel. The "R" mags are tricky to find and expensive. I was told by a vendor that Remington had 1 die for the magazines and it was a limited production run as soon as it wore out. Great accurate rifle. 510 score master? The production stamp was either 1939 or 1942 is my best guess.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I believe that's the 511. It came with either a 6 round or a 10 round magazine. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for one of them too. Thanks for watching!

[@bensatterwhite5694]

I have my dads model 510 that he got for his 13th birthday which was in 1947. It’s extremely accurate. Most of the blueing is worn away. Sadly the stock was cracked and a piece of it is missing which was the small area near the safety. I’ve only seen one other one years ago in a pawn shop which was a smooth bore and I was going to purchase it just for the stock. But it sold before I returned with the money.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Check on ebay or Numrich for a stock. You might find an original one that doesn't need a thing.

[@bensatterwhite5694]

@ thanks

[@RedProg]

My Father had one with a peep sight, great shooting rifle.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I believe that was the 510p, I wonder what the 510x was? Thanks for watching!

[@submanusn3692]

What a great little piece of history, there. Be well, Richard.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I agree! Thanks! You too!

[@samostroff9341]

The bolt removes the same way on my old Savage Model 3. Great video as always! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Interesting. Thanks for watching!

[@Squib1911]

Great opening for the video.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Thanks Squib! I figured I'd switch it up a bit.

[@Squib1911]

@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I like the added production value and the examples to setup up the video to give the viewer perspective on how long ago 1946 was.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

@@Squib1911 You know, I didn't even think of it that way.

[@georgesebastian6306]

Nice piece!

My first rifle was a 582. It share some characteristics with your 510.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Nice. Thanks for watching!

[@JimE6243]

"You know what was going on in 1946?" Yup! I was celebrating my third birthday. Nice looking piece of history. Kind of like me I guess.🤣 You may want to promote those ear plugs. They must be damn comfortable!!!!!!!!!!😁 More so than the eye protection you claimed to be wearing. Sorry. Couldn't resist Richard. Always interesting.. JimE

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

JimE, there's a lot of cool things from back in those days, even the people! Who knows where my mind was at, it must have been the cold air that was getting to me! Thanks for watching JimE! You're one of my favorites!

[@JimE6243]

@@SmallCaliberArmsReview And same to you Richard as you can probably tell. Ya, I'm always off script. But my mind works better than most of my physical parts. You'll understand someday. It comes on pretty fast after retirement so make the best of it. Stop and smell the roses every day. Keep 'um comin'. JimE

[@robertbush8327]

I have my Dad's 1953 Remington 510, but it's not a target master. Very accurate rifle still.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Interesting, what model is it?

[@robertbush8327]

@SmallCaliberArmsReview ill have to get back with you, I'm in the oilfield working, it's at home in the safe, and I don't remember lol

[@paulkoch9871]

I have a 511X Scoremaster, that is a tack driver. It's responsible for the demise of many a woodchuck.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Nice! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Being a 1947 model myself, I remember these well. Lots of Boy Scout troops used these for training. Why can't mfgs do these simple designs today?

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Usually because of lawyers. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the design, I'm just saying lawyers usually screw things up. Seems like a great rifle for beginners. Thanks for watching!

[@bltoth1955]

Good video, just curious as to why they would make a smooth bore version of that rifle?

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Believe it or not one version was called the "Skeetrap"! I cant imagine trying to shoot skeet or trap with a .22! I can't even do it well with a 12 gauge! One was called the "Routledge Bore" and the other was just called a "smooth bore", sort of a "garden gun". Henry makes a .22 smooth bore today they call a garden gun. Made for the .22lr shot shells. Varmint/pest control. Thanks for watching!

[@wizardofahhhs759]

I have one of these, I need a replacement stock tho.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I would recommend checking ebay first, them Numrich. There are a bunch of them out there, probably even som e reproductions. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@sasquatch885]

Very cool.👍🏻

They're probably tucked away in a gun safe somewhere. Thanks for watching!

[@briana3467]

Got my 512 for 15 dollars. It will put slugs through the same hole all day.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I'd love to be able to pick some up that cheap. Those days are long gone! Someone will say something similar 50 years from now. "I wish I could pick one up for $300 now days!" Thanks for watching!

[@Siskiyous6]

Give it the conservation treatment.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

Will do.

[@bltoth1955]

At 100 yards that’s grouping at about 8 inches. 😬

I'm sure that has more to do with my skills than the rifle. Thanks for watching!
