Just for fun...name your top 2 pet peeves when it comes to rifles, either in form or function. For me:
#1- scope rings/bases extending into the loading "port"
#2- white line spacers...be-it grip cap, fore-end cap, recoil pad or where-ever.
go ahead, sound off , you're sure to offend someone!

Somebody trying to tell me my choice of what to carry is wrong. It's my money, my time, and my choice. Everybody shut the hell up and use whatever you like.

1. Ruger's decision to go to the matte finish on the Hawkeye.
2. Gonzo checkering patterns. Fleur de lis is perfect - no need to do lightning bolts.

1. Limited left hand bolt action options. With CNC equipment making a LH bolt action is a snap. I've concluded the manufacturers merely hate us lefties. 2. Monte Carlo style stocks and rollover cheekpieces and their inevitable white line spacers.

1. Shortage of left hand rifles in anything other than .270. .30-06, .243.
2.Sixties style stocks- gloss, high cheekpiece, and so on.

Mediocre barrels.
Mediocre squared up receivers, bolts face and lugs.

Over-rated/Under-Rated rifles -- The Model 70 and 700 are very good. But both have had their ups and downs. The Marin 336 in 30-30 is a darn near perfect hunting rig, but is continually marked as "underpowered."
Absurd Accuracy Requirements So many MOA rifles, so few MOA shooters.

1) Ugly in rifles... like the Encore, ugly bolt handles.... they should all look like the pre-64. 2) Factory customer service.

1. People who mount a sling swivel stud in the Marlin "Bullseye"
2. People who fill in the lettering on guns with white or gold paint.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

1)Less than spectacular accuracy.
2)Unlevel scope mounting.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Potential gun-buyers who need the approval of others on the net to see if their next move is OK.

I know you only ask for two, but I have a two more:
Remingtons habit of discontinuing a product when they have hit a home run.
Winchester refusing to make a true lightweight that deserves the Featherweight handle. Not Kimber or Nula light, but a scaled down version of what they have now. Start with the bolt and work back. There is a lot of beef in that receiver.
