Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 511 “Scoremaster” is a straightforward, bolt-action rimfire designed as a reliable, accurate small-game and target rifle for mid-20th-century shooters. Introduced in 1939 and produced through the early 1960s (with roughly 380–381k examples made), the 511 was built to be simple, robust, and affordable while offering features that pleased precision-minded owners—most commonly a 24–25" sporter-contour barrel, a one-piece hardwood stock, and a solid top-strap receiver that was easily drilled and tapped for optics. The action cycles .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle and uses a detachable box magazine (typically 6- or 10-round capacities depending on variant), giving it practical versatility for both recreational shooting and small-game work. Production spawned a handful of useful variants—most notably the 511P with improved “point-o-meter” peep rear sight, the 511SB smoothbore garden-gun, and later 511X sight upgrades—so buyers can find versions tailored to target, field, or casual use. On the range, the 511 Scoremaster is prized for dependable out-of-the-box accuracy, shotgun-like handling for shooters transitioning from larger rifles, and ease of maintenance. The combination of a rigid bolt action, solid bedding from the factory, and the option of a longer sight radius (on 24–25" barrels) produces repeatable, practical groups with quality rimfire ammo, while the detachable magazine and rugged receiver make the rifle straightforward to own and service. Typical tradeoffs are those of any mid-century rimfire: tubular-style target rifles may not match modern dedicated benchrest rimfires for extreme precision, and finish/stock condition varies widely across surviving examples—factors that strongly influence used-market value. Collectibility centers on condition, correct original sights and magazines, and rarity of specific variants or factory options; mechanically, common service items are easy to find, and guns are generally safe to shoot after a basic inspection (bore, headspace, and magazine function) by a competent technician. For shooters seeking an honest, mid-century bolt-action .22 that balances historical character with practical accuracy, the Remington 511 Scoremaster remains a satisfying and sensible choice.
