One of the instructors in the gunsmithing program at Trinidad when I was there in the 80’s talked of being the armorer for the US Olympic team that used Remington 760s in .222 for the “running boar” event. I remember him discussing thousands of rounds being used for practice and rebarreling them “often”……don’t know what the round counts was but if I was a betting man I say it was more than 300 rounds?!

If he’s a young gunsmith 760s might be like a muzzleloading long rifle to him😉
