Yes they did in fact have problems out of the gate, As do a lot of companies. I believe that they have most if not all of it worked out now. I can tell you that the three I have shoot very well. Is it the best? Probably not. But for a hunting rifle they work great for me. They aren't the only rifles I own either. So you have never owned one and never shot one. Guess what? Your only opinion is of what you read from someone else that was roughly 6 years ago. So basically your blowing a lot of hot air.
