Anybody like the old 500 series of rifles?

I have 3 of them a 512, 513 and a 550 1 all shoot great. The 512 will keep it under an inch all day long at 50 yards, the 513 is a one hole gun and the 550 1 would probably be close to the 512 except I can't see the target at 50 yards any longer with open sights.

I can't do it any longer but when I was in high school and shortly after I would shoot the 512 almost every weekend. I got so I could hit running rabbits in the head. The 512 has untold thousands of rounds through it and it still shoots as good as ever.

IMHO the Remington 500 series of rifles is some of the best production guns ever built. Why Remington dropped them is a mystery to me.
