1)$1,000+ bolt action rifles that won't feed and function worth a damn.
2) Manufacturers who can't figure out how to make a $1,000 bolt action rifle feed worth a damn, and won't admit they have a problem.
Bolt actions ain't exactly rocket science.

1. Rifles that don't work simply because they get a little dust, brass shavings, water, or some combination of the above, in places like their enclosed trigger assemblies, bolt releases, and ejectors. 2. Scopes and mounts that don't hold zero, especially when you've carried and used them alot. E

1. Warped stocks !!!!!!!!!! 2. Bad barrels triggers can be lightened feeding usually can be fixed Bad barrels have to be replaced, same with stocks
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

triggers can be lightened feeding usually can be fixed True, but the question is, why should you pay $1,000+ for a rifle and then have to "fix" it?? Or to come at it from another angle, if the manufacturer is going to charge those kinds of prices, why can't they produce a product that functions as advertised?

I agree smokepole, thats the raeson I sold the Kimber I once had. It shot one good group the whole time I had it, sent it back to Kimber. They said it was fine, it still never shot good. It also had a bad spot in the chamber just below the shoulder,every piece of brass that came out of the gun had a ring where the brass flowed into a crevice that went all the way around. I suppose the reamer had a burr when the chamber was cut. I can still recognize brass that was fired in that gun(2 or 3 years ago).

Short barrels
Skinny barrels

1) Ten year olds shooting trophy bucks with a 223. 2) Picture of #1 above.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

I have at least 1 number 1 and at least 2 number 2's... A least.. 1. Ruger's crummy bolt handle cut out in the stock of their M-77's. It's Cheap. It's fugly. It degrades a perfectly good rifle 2. Variable Powered scopes.. There, I said it and I'm happy. Lack of high quality, fixed low power scopes, ie, Swaro, S&B, and Zeiss 2.a. Stainless Steel hunting rifles. Hunting rifles are supposed to be blued, with Walnut stocks.. At least at my house. YMMV
