About the Remington Model 513T Matchmaster
The Remington Model 513T Matchmaster is a bolt-action .22 Long Rifle target rifle produced from 1940 to 1968. Built around a heavy 27-inch barrel, an adjustable trigger and a beavertail-forend walnut target stock, it was marketed as an accurate smallbore competition rifle at a moderate price. During World War II roughly 10,000 were issued to the U.S. Army, Army ROTC and Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM) clubs as marksmanship trainers, marked 'US PROPERTY'.
For decades the 513T was a fixture on American smallbore ranges and in ROTC and junior marksmanship programs, teaching generations of shooters the fundamentals of precision aperture-sight rifle fire.
