Target from yesterday with the 513T.

 

I like those old Remington 22 bolt action rifles, I have a model 512 that belonged to my great grandfather and it is a joy to shoot.

 

I have an old 511 Scoremaster.

When I was in Boy Scouts we had a rifle team our instructor was a big time world class shooter Jack McCann,he had 3 Anchutes, a Winchester target,a Remington target.with 10 boys = 2 teams our team score ave.was 98. our first shoot we went to Camp Warren Levas in Alton Ill.there were about 100 boys there, they were laughing at us because Jack's 2 boys were the only ones who had a full uniform. Well they soon got quite as we uncased our rifles 5 Anchutes he bought 2 more so we would look better, we all shot 100's except Steve he shot 98.Yep we spanked them all IIRC the next score was a 78, not bad for a bunch of farm boys.

 

Beautiful rifle, bandit, and it is a shooter for sure. The fact that it was your Dad's even makes it better.

Like other posters, I started out shooting in Scouts as well, then JRROTC. Still have 54 year old patch from a match in Atlanta. IIRC we always shot longs in practice and competition, back in the day, but I can't remember what brand. About 15 years ago I ran into this rifle. The Unertl helps, but I have fired a group with it that measured .244" (5 shots) at 100 yards. This rifle actually likes Win Wildcat!

1948, 513-T w/ 16X J Unertl.

Rifle Team, 1965. We each fired 50 rounds 3 or4 days a week. I guess that would be called mass shooting in the 60's.

 

Yup----Those 513T shoot pretty good. I also still have my old Rem 514 single shot bolt 22 with a Williams peep on it. All good rifles.

 

Now I know why I bought that Weston Auto model 41 same as Marlin 100 bolt action single shot. Mine is from the fifties. I put a scope on it. Still all nice guns fellas! Thanks for the back in time pictures 256!

Nice Remington. I'm sure your Dad would be proud.

The Civil Air Patrol had a whole rack of 513T Remingtons when I shot with them 1961-63. They were in Military dress, dull oiled stock and Parkerized finish, WW2 training rifles.

 

Nice 513T. Good looking wood too. Get yourself some Eley Match and shoot a target. It will group nicer than the CCI. I have a nice Remington 40X I got from the CMP years ago.

 

Nice 513. Love my model 41....

 

Good looking 513T. I shot with one 40 years ago at the start of 4-position rifle competition, until I upgraded to an Anschutz 64. Still love the 513's.

 

I had one years ago that my dad gave me. He used to shoot on the rifle team in the National Guard back in the 50's and used a 513T. Later on he wanted it back so he gave me a Ruger77/22 in trade for it. The 513T was a better shooter.

 

My 513T is a US Gov. Prop. marked one & did not want to drill it for mounts, but would like to see what it will do with a scope. The idea of maybe JB welding on mounts sounds like a possibility! Thanks!
I also was Capt. of our JrROTC rifle team back in '61-'62. Boy Scouts & that was great training!

 

I am quite fond of the 513T.
Mine is extremely accurate with standard velocity , or subsonic ammunition.
I am always on the lookout for a Unertl scope and mounts for it.
Perhaps I will get lucky some day.
In the meantime I use the sights it came with.
Redfield 75's, and they work very well.

 

Still have my dads 511 scoremaster- used it as a kid and it is the most accurate .22 I have shot.

 

I've had several 513Ts all tack drivers. Last one I had was full dress with adj butt plate, palm rest, hand stop and a 6x Fecker scope.
My Bro pestered me for it and I traded it to him. He liked it so well he drug it around squirrel hunting. Then he screwed up and traded it for a 541s which isn't near the gun a 513T is. My official Turkey Shoot 22 is a Rem RB with a 513T barrel and match sights. It will shoot 3/8" at 100' and that's with the RB hammer. In a 513T I believe it would shoot into one hole at 100'. The 513T would shoot right with the 52 Win for a lot less money.

 

Several years ago our club had a start up bench rest match shooting three ARA targets members had some fine target rifles, but no full customs. A mix of Anschutz 54, Win 52, Rem 40x,etc.. Well my friend uncases a Remington 513, and proceeded to beat us all soundly with it, I was shocked!

I like those old Remingtons. I do have a real nice 521T, not a junior, with the factory peep and globe front. Shoots real nice but the trigger is a bit heavy.
