Thanks for your response.

What is up with the 513S? I saw one for sale also, actually it might have been an auction site, but anyways it was listed at over $700. Are these like what the 40xr sporter was to the other 40x rimfires, a higher grade custom type gun?

I am possibly holding out for a 510 if I can find one but a local gunshop has tucked away in a corner, a 511 with an old scope mounted and they want $95 for the combo! I might have to go for that. I can't quite tell what scope model it is. The bluing is about 85% on that gun but $95 is still good. Someone has informed me that some 514s came with dovetail grooves on the reciever. As far as mounting a scope there seems to be a little more material for the reciever bridge on the 510/511/512 compared to that on the 514. Also the 510 series have the handle bent down more to clear a scope with a bell ocular, can you even mount anything other than a straight tube scope on the 514 as it seems the handle would not clear it?
