Yeah totally not a great first rifle, I have since owned and still own some of 17hmr, 22, 223, 243, 308, 270, another 7mm rem mag and finally settled on a braked 270wsm.
My 223 taught me alot about shooting consistently wish I'd kept that one.

What did you not like?

Norinco 223, bolt would jam closed with a live round in the chamber, had to use a chunk if wood to lift the bolt ehilst avoiding pointing the barrel in your face

Remington 783 in 308, it functioned but was a classic case of cost cutting, no aethetics or finishing touches

Remington 770 plastic junk

Fuck I came close to buying one of those after being pleasantly supprised by my jw15..... I thought shit they must be all good, luckily I was warned off by a mate

a stirling 22 magnum I refinished the stock on, I was only happy to sell as the guys on trademe got into a bidding war and likely payed more than they cost new
the stock must have been to their liking

H&r 243 tried everything other than re engineer it to have an extractor to get the cases out after firing

Walther PPS. The narrow grip pushed right on a nerve in the palm of my hand. After 6 or so range trips, I couldn't put more than 20 rounds down range before my hand started to hurt like mad or go numb. Sucks because it's a great carry piece.

A Fabarm Lion H368, think I persevered for 3 seasons before giving up on that piece of shit, after service care was great but u shouldn't be taking in a shotty more times than you take it out. Should have spent the extra money at the time and got the RR of shotguns, Benelli

An early Baikal single-shot 12g, kicked like a mule and sometimes went-off when you closed it--gave it away. Miroku single-shot 12g, kicked worse than the Rusky, sold it on tardme. When he picked it up, he informed me it was for a 15yr-old. I suggested the boy would never fire a gun again after that

I wished I'd kept my Benneli, and my Norton, and my 750 Duke...

Still trying . Chiappa Double Badger 22LR/410ga. Two warranty firing pin issues and doesn't group well with anything so far. Being an honest sort I am trying to get it to run reliably so I dont feel like I am screwing the next bloke over.
