Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington 510 Targetmaster is a classic single-shot .22 rimfire rifle that earned a reputation for remarkable accuracy, simplicity, and rugged reliability, making it a beloved choice for generations of young shooters, small-game hunters, and marksmanship instructors. Introduced in the late 1930s as part of Remington’s 510 series, the Targetmaster features a straightforward bolt-action design that loads one round at a time directly into the chamber, a system that not only encourages deliberate, disciplined shooting but also greatly enhances safety and dependability. Its 24-inch barrel, cold-hammer-forged and finely rifled, delivers excellent accuracy with virtually any .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle ammunition, while the rifle’s long sight radius—paired with a sturdy, drift-adjustable front sight and an elevation-adjustable rear—gives the shooter surprisingly refined control for a utilitarian firearm. The walnut or hardwood stock, finished in the no-nonsense style of mid-century Remington sporting rifles, provides a comfortable grip and stable shouldering, with the rifle’s slim profile making it easy to carry through woods and fields. Weighing just over 5 pounds, the 510 balances lightness with enough mass to steady off-hand shots, a trait that contributed to its popularity as a training rifle in schools and youth programs for decades. Its simple construction—few moving parts, a robust bolt, and a rugged receiver—means the Targetmaster can withstand decades of use with minimal maintenance, and many examples today still shoot as accurately as they did when new. Whether used for teaching fundamentals, taking precise shots at small game, or simply enjoying the satisfying rhythm of single-shot rimfire shooting, the Remington 510 Targetmaster stands as a timeless example of American rifle craftsmanship at its most practical and enduring.
