The linked article says nothing about the rifle in question being a bolt-action, Remington or other make, and nothing about how the rifle or ammunition was stored. Do you have some other source for your information or are you speculating?

What is relevant is that getting all the muzzle energy and accuracy out of a .308 cartridge so as to make it useful for hunting, means a rather long barrel, and specifically one about as long as the M700's barrel. Also, I'll admit that the rate-of-fire is not actually relevant because you still don't want to use any kind of .308 cartridge for home defense, because of overpenetration. However, Remington's M700 is the most popular civilian-available weapon in the US, by far, which meets the description of ".308 hunting rifle". 2. Someone other than the owner, obtained it without authorization. That means that it was not securely stored.
