Buy cheap production rifles and then expect superior firearms is like paying for azz with expectations of true loyalty. Rarely do you hear of problems with Brownings,. But then again you do not buy them for $300. I never had a single issue with Blazer rifles and that comes after about a dozen of them I have or did own. A dozen Blazers. Heaven.

I have owned 3 Ruger bolt action rifles in my life, a .22, a .22 Hornet and a .257 Roberts. Neither of them would hit a hat at 100 yards despite intensive tinkering and messing with loads or ammo. Took them down the road to the gunshow, took a licking on the prices and figured I came out ahead.

It isn’t luck, avoid crap. A range day or hunting trip with Tikkas/SWFAs, is just too easy. This.

There's alot of shyt out there from Remington and Ruger and has been for a long time. Ruger will take care of their abortions to your satisfaction or refund your money, one or the other. Remington ? Good luck, which is why I don't and won't buy anything Remington. there is a lot of sh-it out there, Ruger has refunded my money on a Model 77, Smith and Wesson has refunded my money twice their revolvers are very poor quality these days, there is no reason to buy and Leupold variable scopes as others offer comparable with better mechanics, I would struggle to buy a scope these days that did not have a lot of reviews indicating that it was bulletproof, a $1000 Nf shv that I can rely on is better than 3 $300 chinese scopes I sh-itcan. OTOH talking about wasting money, the smith revolvers are so bad these days you may as well piss your money away on a taurus, so there is that side of the coin as well.

It's like putting Fireball and JeffO in a bag, shaking, and coming out with one person

This is somewhat depressing. Wonder what the qc out of these factories will be like when the stuff hits the shelves that was assembled during the lung funk crisis? I bought a Rem 233 varmint cheap a couple years back for the action. Thought I'd try it just for s&g. Inch and a half best with 5 different bullets and 3 powders. Thought maybe it was the cheesy stock so I glued it in a old wood 40x with pillars. No improvement. Its waiting on my guy to true and install a Krieger barrel. I'll have more in it than ill ever get back. But I knew that going in. Got more chit than I have time to play with, I think I'll stop buying anything else.

I recently bought Remington Police CTR`s in 308 and 223.Both shoot under 1/2" at 100 yards.They come with 40x triggers that are easily adjusted to 2 pounds.I am more than happy with them.
