My grandfather had one rifle on the ranch, a 510 Remington bolt gun. He only shot one round in the gun, ever, a 22 short. He killed everything with a short, cows, hogs, chickens, dogs, cats, bob cats, rabbits, snakes, etc. I learned how to shoot ducks on the wing and light kitchen matches with that rifle.
The little 510 was never left dirty, it was kept clean and oiled, that was my job. My grandfather has been gone 28 years now but the little 510 is just as accurate as ever. actually that gun is what started me buying 500 series Remingtons.
