  • Howa/Witherbee = bolt stop screw breaks
  • 700 = extractor, brazed handle, new trigger breaks in half
  • Salvage = feeds like crap, trigger deactivates if pushed laterally
  • Marlin X = bolt binds/jams if worked really hard
  • Win 70 = brazed handle, soft extractor (some post-64), no gas handling
  • T/C Venture = trigger breaks in half
  • Tikkler = poor gas handling
  • Browning A-bort = trigger blade breaks
  • Ruger 77/Hawkeye = best SS hard use rifle ever grin
