Thanks for the reply.I'd keep 'em.
They are not made any longer and were made to a better standard , quality wise than many rifles of today.
In the interest of honestly here.....
I must also state that I am not a fan of the Ruger 10/22 series.
Nothing "wrong" with it....just that there are many out there...and the design does nothing for me.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.I'd keep 'em.

Mossberg .22 rifles ( And the Ward's Western Field ) shoot very nicely as a general rule.

The 511 was made for a couple of decades. The 511-X was only made in 1965 and 66. Supposedly. The X has an "improved" rear sight. One of the Nylon 66's I had used this kind of rear sight, with a kind of elevation adjustment dial on it that could be turned with a penny coin.Love your Remington 511....looking for one myself.
I have a Remington 510 from 1941 and a Remington 512 from 1942....just need the 511 and a 513.
Another thing nice about .22 rifles, they tend to cost less than rimfires.The 511 was made for a couple of decades. The 511-X was only made in 1965 and 66. Supposedly.

My bad. Centerfires.Another thing nice about .22 rifles, they tend to cost less than rimfires.
Kinda what I figgered. And for the most part, correct.My bad. Centerfires.
Might I recommend...I don't own any old Winchesters, should probably get one some day. But there are some old Mossbergs, Remingtons and Savage/Steven's bolt guns in the safe. You can't help but notice, when you hold one in your hands, that these are guns built by GUNSMITHS! Maybe assembly line gunsmiths, but human hands just the same. That's what makes them special, to me at least.
My model 700 Marlin (same action but fed from a detachable 7 Rd mag) has never disappointed in the approx 40 years I've had it. Never shot the more recent version (795?) . I do wish there was a better trigger available.Late to the game as usual.
KEEP THEM.
The Ruger 10/22 sucks, there I said it.
Buy a Marlin model 60, hit what you're aiming at, have it work through an entire brick of cheap bubblegum, be happy.
