has more than 30,000 rounds down the barrel, and killed many a sage rat...
Now that's getting some good use from a rifle.
Oh, it has digested 1500 rounds or so, on a weekend over toward Klamath shooting sage rats all weekend many a time...
a couple of those trips each year.... and having it for the last 15 to 20 years.... 30,000 rounds isn't that hard to send down the barrel..
but I'll concede, that is a lot of loading on a 5 round magazine..... but that one is steel...so its durable...
If I would have ever come across one of the 28 inch barreled trainers, I'd certainly have picked up one...
even if a 28 inch barrel looks kinda overkill on a bolt action 22 with a 5 round mag...
