The Remington Model 512 Sportsmasteros series is a .22 caliber, bolt action, tubular magazine-fed rifle manufactured by Remington Arms between 1940 and 1962 and 1965 and 1967.[3][4] The Sportmaster 512 has a 25" barrel, a one piece hardwood stock, and a blued metal finish. An interesting feature of this rifle is that it uses a tubular magazine and a bolt action. Many modern tube fed firearms typically utilize a lever action or a pump action, but in the middle of the 20th century, many bolt action .22's utilized tubular magazines, as the high capacity magazine of the era.

The Sportmaster 512 was part of the Remington 51x series of rimfire rifles consisting of the Targetmaster 510, Scoremaster 511, Sportmaster 512, Matchmaster 513, and Junior Special 521. Lettering on top of Barrel

  • 512X
  • 512 - At some point the receiver was grooved for a scope mount.
