I went out today with the express purpose of finding an older beat up single shot .22 for packing along with me while camping and the like. I wasn't feeling very picky, and figured I would end up with an old beater Sears or Stevens or something along those lines, but ended up finding exactly what I was looking for with a top shelf brand name to boot. Including the background check, I paid just $85 for my Remington 514 (circa 1950), and I love it. I managed to run a box through it already and it is perfect. I love the incredibly simple action and adjustable sights, and unlike a couple other .22 rifles I have tried the bullet goes exactly where you aim it every single time. The only thing it is lacking, for my needs, are some sling mounts but that can be easily fixed.
Anybody here have experiences or thoughts on these rifles? So far I can't find anything wrong with mine but everybody here has a lot more knowledge than me.
Thanks,
Jordan
