I'm trying to figure out what it is that makes the Remington 580 (single-shot bolt action .22) so exciting.
I've read up a little on the Net, and can't figure out much except that people really want them, and you can apparently rechamber them to other cartridges. There's a .300 Whisper Rem580 up on AuctionArms, etc.
What's special about this model? Is it inordinately strong, or does it have an extra-long action that accomodates short centerfires?
Is it a good .22LR in the first place if I can find one for a good price?
Just random curiousity, and joy over finding a topic that we haven't flogged to death.
