Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ref. rifles...name your top 2 pet peeves

1. Browning A-bolt

2. Tikka

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.

1. Poor fit and finish.
2. Average or poor barrels

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.

Hit the nail on the head there with the A-bolt!

1. rinky-dink safeties
2. custom barrels that look like the caliber was stamped on by a drunk working in the dark

1. Safeties

2. Muzzle brakes

Amen.

1) 3 position safeties (not sure why)

2) Wood stocks

3) Carbon steel

4) Brakes are for cars, not hunting rifles.

Bad factory triggers
plastic stocks

{1} 2x10 scopes on 30-30s

{2}Thumbhole stocks

{3} Stocks made of anything but wood

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

1. Muzzle breaks

2. Cheap plastic stocks

1) heavy gritty triggers
2) too long LOP (some of us are less than 5'8")

Krylon painted guns.

Bolt locks

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

Any plastic part on a firearm.

1.) Accuracy

2.) Reliability

These two azzholes pretty much raise havoc in my excuses department...

1. Scopes above 10X on deer rifles.

2. Military/Special forces looking rifles in the deer woods.

1: White line spacers/the space cadet "Weatherby look"

2: shiney stock finishes (Remington mostly). I'll carry a signal mirror in my pocket thank you.
