There were a few common problems of the era though:

1) Triggers: Usually could be correctly quite easily. Some just were not adjusted well at the factory. Some were 6-8# out of the box, and rough. But the design at least allows a trigger job without aftermarket trigger a necessity

2) Accuracy: Most were decent. Some were bad. Again, usually could be corrected. Bedding, barrel stock pressure, and screw torque were common causes of accuracy issues. I don't know that there were any "bad" barrels out there.

3) Scope mount holes: This was one bad problem. For some reason, as good as the actions were, they did not get the scope mount holes straight on all the actions. This sometimes meant using a scope base with adjustable windage, because with fixed bases, there would not be enough windage adjustment in the scope to compensate for the yaw. This was the case on the one I had. You could visibly see how much the rear ring was offset on the base to run true. Talley Manufacturing knew about this problem, and said that their rings/bases could not be used on some of the guns because of this issue.

All in all, good guns though, and it was a shame they only had the limited production of the SS. But, for $1925 now, a safer bet would be the Montana. At least there would be customer service possible if there was an issue.
