Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 30-30 T/C Contender Purchase

No worries.

It sounds like BS, but I've had a number of single shot rifles over the years and they were plagued with problems. Most were H&R, but I did have a couple of Rossis, one Browning and two Ruger No1s. I posted here about a few of them.

As I said in an earlier post, never a lick of problems with my No 1s, but the rest! I must have got some bad ones that slipped past the QC inspectors. Mounting holes not threaded on one. Improper lock up in another. An internal problem with the transfer bar in a third. All problems were unrelated to ammunition.

I had a 30-30 H&R go through two scopes, and never figured out why. I wrote it off to bad luck. Ditched that one quickly! I also shot my chronograph with that same rifle.

If there is a saint for single shot rifles, he's POed with me over something.
