The Remington Model 512 Sportsmasteris a bolt-action rifle manufactured by Remington Arms.^[1] The Model 512 has a 25-inch (64 cm) barrel, a one-piece hardwood stock, and a blued metal finish.^[2] An unusual feature of this rifle is that it uses a tubular magazine in conjunction with a bolt action. Most modern tube-fed firearms typically use a lever action or a pump action, but in the middle of the 20th century, many bolt-action .22's used tubular magazines as the high-capacity magazine of the era.

Variants

Model 512P: The Model 512P had the same specs as the standard model but with a patridge-type blade front sight and a "point-crometer" peep rear sight.^[2]
Model 512SB: The Model 512SB was the smoothbore model with open sights.^[2]
Model 512X: The Model 512X featured improved sights and was produced from 1964 until 1966.^[2]
