in my younger days chasing coon hounds and running trap line....I carried several different rifles...only one that would work reliably in the cold and rather abusive conditions we put those rifles through was dads 10-22 his is a verry early one. Late 60s maybe..
I even ran over it one time when I forgot it leaning on the truck bumper....bent the barrel pretty bad.....I replaced it years later and he wasn't the wiser....
