My stepdad has a single shot .22 much the same. I think his is a Remington and has been handed down a few generations - not nearly as good of condition as yours. I preferred shooting that even when he bought me my first barrel mag semi-auto with a scope. The sights on it were terrific and dead on.

Yes, it's a Remington mod. 514. I love single shot rifles.

I grew up with a Remington model 510 Target Master single shot.
My father forbade hunting with aromatic rifles.
He told me that one day I might have to fight in a war and I needed to make every shot count.
By the time I was 20 years old I was hunting running targets with a standard Rugar 22 auto pistol and hitting them on the first shot.
I have seen people use 20 rounds on one squirrel and never shoot it.

I've seen a bunch 510's over the years, they must have good ones, because all I have came across were wore pretty bad. I did luck into a model 41 Target Master several years ago that is like new.

My sister has that 510 the barrel is like brand new on the inside.
Growing up if for any reason we even suspected dirt got in a barrel we cleaned it or went back to the house.
If we shot it or not we cleaned the guns when we got home.
It was a ritual, folks sitting around cleaning their rifles.

i have a rabbit that stares at me from my wicked neighbors driveway and taunts me, i feel like elmer fudd. he has gotten into my carrot bed, waits in their driveway for me to leave and I am helpless because I am in a school zone. If i could get him in my yard my air gun shoots 1300fps and would be quick work... this guy has no fear

Yeah, 850fps is plenty to dispatch a rabbit with a head shot.

17 HMR with a silencer.
That is what I intend to do with my Ruger model 77/22 22 magnum swap the barrel to 17 HMR.
The bullets play out in no time even at 2550 FPS.

Okay, you gotta tell us. How did you teach the dog to shoot?

You can teach a feist anything, and simple stuff like shooting they pick up on their own.

I hope he shares with you what he catches.

The only reason, Barney hunts is to prove to me he is worthy, and loyal. That's why I love feists.
