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.

You will.

I would say most Subaru owners would have this upon the first visit to a mechanic...

Rossi lever action in 44mag brand new.
First one wouldnt even cycle ammo threw and the second brand new one was barely better,jammed often didnt and shoot very well with any of many brands of ammo I tried.

Subarus aren't that bad at all really. Now if you'd said Kraut Shitbox.....

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

poor sks

Ruger M77 featherweight in 308
Bought it in the 80's.

Was a nice to look at, brand new rifle.
It shot like shit. I did everything I could think of to accurize it and still no joy. If anyone has bedded one they will know how screwed up the recoil system was.
Was a shame as for the time it was a nice rifle.

It was pretty accurate for an SKS actually. Tech sights helped a lot, but it weighed more than Jupiter, so off to Bubba it went

Like - but don't like: a good semi is awesome, but a shit one is more frustrating than spilling your dinner.... especially if there is a bit of coin tied up in it!!

For me it was a Baikal single shot. Trigger pull was like doing max bench press but for the index finger and was very gritty. Also they are cast for a right handed shooter so it never fit quite right. Gunsmith had a go at the trigger, and it was better but still not fantastic. Also it was .308, I have since decided that I don't really like .308
