I don’t know what it it about this price point but it really seems a struggle. Montana, Forbes, LAW etc all seemed to have qc issues. It’s a shame as they are or at least were in theory nice rifles
Quak, that is a good point. My guess is that there was sort of a "marketing arms race" among manufacturers to promise more and more custom features in a factory rifle. At a certain point, the cost to provide those features outstripped the money available for such work at that price point, and so something had to give. In other words, a company can't survive doing $1700 worth of work on a rifle selling for $1500. Thus, corners were cut, with one of the first one being QC.
