1. Lack of options for left handers.
2. General lack of quality control. How often do you have to do some tuning to a new rifle to get it to shoot when, for the money we pay now days for a new rifle there is always something out of whack. Doc

My number one complaint would be a rifle with a safety that DOESN'T lock the bolt closed when it is on safe.
Number two would be a scope whose objective end resembles a large funnel for putting fuel in a tractor.
If a third was allowed it would be a trigger guard and floorplate that was NOT made out of good old steel.

Handwerk: #1: The "looks" of savage Rifles & #2: The "feel" of savage Rifles. A distant third would be the backwards safeties on CZ Rifles. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Bolt locks
Gun dealers that tell me left handed rifles are worth less than right handed rifles but charge more for them.
