Ithaca 37 my hunting partner keeps it Behind the backseat of his truck year round and I believe its never been cleaned in the ten years ive known him.
He hunts heavy for pheasants with it six weeks of pheasant season. Rain, shine, snow, sleet. It gets slid into a case and put behind the seat without oil or wipedown
Ive never seen it not fire.
He laughs at autoloaders and can run that thing faster than most guys with gas guns
My marlin levers have gone lots of rounds without a clean, and I would assume bolt action rifles in centerfire would be long service with no cleaning and reliable operation
Id not choose any autoloader. But if I did the M1 or AK47 comes to mind.
