Thread: Buyers Remorse

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.

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.

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

Remington POS Model M597. I still have it and it taunts me every time I look in the safe
To make it worse I traded my BRNO Model 2 for it

It's the magazine. My father in law has one.
Accurate as but had all sorts of feeding issues.

I mucked around with the magazine and she runs perfectly apart from the odd stoppage due to cleanliness.

OK second buyers regret a M597. Mags are shit AND it shot like crap also. No amount of cleaning would fix a turd.

I gave up in the end,

Myn was a sauer 100 in 7mm RM looked the business handled really well length of pull was great as it was a bit longer than most but kick faark I put 40 rounds through it trying to zero it rattled the scull , turned out to be a dud luckly I brought local & got great service

I had one it was a hunk of shit when I got it inaccurate as shit and use to jam just use 8 in the mag and I did something else to it to stop feeding problems but cant remember what took the barrel out and refitted it and it was good after that more accurate than its 10/22 mate

Saiga .223. Aweful trigger. Front sight was canted so it couldnt be zeroed at all. Bolt hold open device broke, turning the supposedly 110% reliable AK into FTF city. Jammed the bolt hold open down put a scope on. Unable to shoot a group that stayed in the same place. With Barnaul ammo it just didn't group at all, literally like 12moa. I sold the rifle for what I payed for it so who cares. Now have a Saiga 7.62x39 which is a completely different kettle of fish. Accurate and 100% reliable so far after a couple thousand rounds or so.

Probably the most popular, and would be mine too mate, amazing though how life improved dramatically when I divorced it...

Desert Eagle .44 Magum
I had a go on one when I was 25,bought on at 34 .What a pile of shit. I paid extra for "Satin Nickle "Finnish. It only ran reliably with Magtech ammo or ++P reloads.Plus it was a amazing "wanker magnet" at the range.Mainly because when using it I must have resembled one of them.
