Don't really have anything that falls in this category because if I don't like them they go down the road immediately.
I'm pretty ruthless with rifles I dislike.
Yep.
Right now I would send a Tikka T3 in 260 or a Ruger Hawkeye in 223 down the road before anything else. I like the two Tikkas I own and I like my Ruger 77s/Hawkeyes, but I just cannot love 'em. The Tikkas feel disposable and the Rugers are overbuilt, heavy, and unlike the Tikkas, very finicky.
