What do you guys think of these rifles? I'm looking at one in a shop in about 8 out of 10 condition. It has an adult sized stock that is made from a nice piece of walnut. It is a late model with the dovetailed reveiver. Asking price is $160. How are the triggers, accuracy, etc?
Remington 511 Scoremaster
- Thread starter 762shooter
- Start date
A little high in price, specially after taxes. Usually they sell for not too much over $100-$125. They are a nice steel and walnut classic gun.
I've found they are OK shooters but not great. Never done much better than 1" at 50 yards.
Triggers are so-so. Due to the trigger design, they cannot be worked on much. The spring cannot be made much lighter or the safety stops working. Some people on Rimfire Central have installed adjustable trigger parts from the 513 and found it improves the trigger but still not a great trigger.
