Thread: Buyers Remorse

So.
Which ones have you bought and very quickly regretted.
For me its the first model Beretta xtrema, no kick off 3,5 inch.
It was just too big a gun for me, I couldn't hit shit with it, didn't last one week of it's first season.

There may others but that was the most expensive mistake.

Mossberg 590A1 Tactical, brought on impulse, drunk looked cool that's all it was good for. Well that or an intruder in home defence situation

300wsm

so gay

going to rebarrel into 6.5 something and replaced it with a 7rm

A Savage .243, it was left handed and I needed a rifle fast.

Got one for TimeRider and it's brilliant. Would be better with the bolt on the correct side, but the wrong sided one suited her better. Cost bugger all too.

I think the nearest I've got to a dud was TimeRiders A-Bolt, but less than $40 at the Smithy sorted that. So I'll just have to keep buying till I find myself a dud.

Yes for me it's been 30% dud Savages. The remaining 70% were awesome.

.243 need I say more?

We have three in 243 and they are all shooters. The third one was to be a parts machine as it cost little more than a new mag. Shot too well to part out.

Jeeez Gadget - No wonder Toby hated 243's eh!

Mossberg 802 "Plinkster" in .22LR, the name should have been enough to put me off but I had to learn things the hard way. Most unreliable feeding I've ever experienced from a bolt-action rifle, no matter the ammunition.

Norino 223, would jam with a live round in the chamber and need to point the barrel up and use a hammer to open bolt

Common enough, and there is an easy fix using valve grinding paste

Had it before I had confidence in fixing rifles myself. Sold it and brought a t3
