OP FSJeeper Campfire Regular F Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 1,381 Likes: 1 South Texas	In 1998 in preparing for my first trip to South Africa, the PH stated that the common failures in the bush, besides operator error which is the most common, were in order of ranking: 1. Scope failure 2. Ammunition failure 3. Rifle malfunction He also stated rifle failures were super rare, especially in single shots, double bores, and bolt actions. The only malfunction I have ever had is a scope failure, and that was way back when scopes were not what they are today. What failures have you seen and how do you rank them?
