Tomahawk shotgun.
Within 1 box of target loads:
Pump action got stuck HARD in the fully back position.
Stopped feeding rounds when pumped.
Again, both of those failures within 18 or 19 rounds of being brand new.

Remington 700 SPS DM. Friggin' thing started to return to mother earth in the gun cabinet. Never saw rain or any other water and I had descecant in the cabinet but the POS still rusted. I now own a 700 CDL in 35 Whelen that knocks over pop cans at 300 yds and doesn't have speck of rust on it.... so WTF!!??
+1
Mine would fail to fire about 60% of the time (light primer strikes). Sent it back to the dealer... Waited nearly three months to get it back, plus they were huge dicks when I called wondering where my shotgun was. When I got the shotgun back the problem wasn't even fixed.
Never buying from that dealer again, and never buying anything that was made in Turkey again.
i did not see that one coming! my 336 is the tightest, most solid, tight shooting, lightweight, easy to carry, fast cycling, and beautifull piece of carbine action perfection i have in my arsenal. i had to do a doubletake to make sure you didn't say winchester. did you mean winchester?

Brand new .338 win mag Browning A Bolt, left hand SSteele Syntetic stock, 2 pce mount and original japanese made tasco titan new in box scope.
THIS RIFLE DROVE ME CRAZY!!! Never ever I had so much problem with a gun.
First time out best group was 5 - 6 " at 100yrds .... I notice that the forehand of the stock was soft and bend under the stress no problem since I was planning to restock it regardeless, so order a new laminated t.hole and finished, proper glass bedding , ( I performed this operation sucesfully over 30 time on other rifles ) back to the range and still bad not as bad but not acceptable the suddenly whent crazy all over the paper. I noticed that the front ring had some movement back to the store and bought new Leupold STD base and ring ( the first one where jobbers)
Now is getting worst still all over... try a different scope and better . Send scope back to bushnell for guarantee after six months finally settle for Elite 6500 with some money on return.
I taylor all kind of ammo, different powders and bullets and cartridge length and the best I could get is a 4-5inch group at 200 yrds, by then the barrel spit out near 700 bullets and to me the group is unaceptable, kept the scope and sold the gun.
I like to say that have one other A Bolt, 300 WSM micro hunter classic wood stock a tack driver !!!! Would I buy one other Browning ... NO.
The next .338 is around the corner.... I purchased a new barrel, now I am looking to find a mauser action to put it to work....

My experience has been likewise! Especially my 308 T3 lite/stainless with neck-sized/Varget fueled handloads. Best group to date (100m/109y) was 0.14 inches, sub-1/4 inch groups I usually get at least one per range trip, and my worst group ever with that gun/load was 0.9 (and that's 200+ rounds, mind you; and I usually do 5 shot groups). People can mock the T3 all they like, but it's hard to argue with them kind of results. I have never owned/fired a more accurate rifle (and certainly not in a 7lb scope-and-all hunting gun).
Winchester Model 70 Featherweight WSSM 243 (last gun out of the New Haven plant). Shot 4 inch groups no matter what I tried and I tried it all! No more WSSM for me!
Interesting what some folks have encountered according to this thread though.
I shot a 99C 308 for thirty years that always shot mint groups until it "died" of old age and hard use.
I have an A-Bolt 25-06 that shoots perfect groups; a Pre-64 Win. Mod 70 30-06 that shoots perfect: a Mod 70 Featherweight 243 that is wonderful.
I am about to buy one of the new generation Mod 70 Sporters in 270 after a fair amount of research.
I think that it appears that any manufacturer seems to produce some "dogs" but I really can't complain about Winchester, Browning, or the old Savage 99's from personal experience. I think one of the things to be really wary of is "new innovations" in cartridges or in rifle designs.

I just shot yesterday MOA with my Mini Target in sh,,, weather - again. And that is with factory 55 grain. Show me another semi which does that - unmodified.
The 580 series seems to be a bit worse but should still do 1.5 inch groups from what I have read. 4" to 5" inch groups - which series from which year would that be?
180 - isn't that 35 years?
Had a Model 70 Winchester Featherweight in 7x57 that would only put the first two shots in the same group at 100 yards, 3rd shot,2in. high, 4th, 4in. high, 5th 6in. high. Bedding issues, maybe too much forend pressure on the barrel. Maybe an easy fix but call me crazy, you shouldn't have to #### around with a brand new rifle.
