The worse rifle you ever owned

This thread kills me,great stories. But really this is like the pick-up arguement,some like chevs,some like fords and some like dodge.You'll never find a chev lover who has his p/u in the shop 12 times in the first 6mos. that says it's a piece of sh#t.LMAO
 
I had a Ruger M77 MKII in 30-06. It couldn't group worth a damn. I bedded it and nothing changed. I then had the trigger adjusted still nothing. I then tried three different scopes and still nothing. I ended up so frustrated that I traded it off for a Tikka 30-06 and haven't looked back.
 
Remington 700 BDL in .270. Gun felt and shot great, but with the safety on, if the trigger was somehow squeezed, as soon as I would take it off safe, boom/click. 5 digit serial. Still hanging on to it so it doesn't hurt anyone.

Henry Varmint Express .17 HMR. Shoots all over the place with no ryme or reason. I thought it might be the scope, so I changed it and it still did it. No pattern at all to compensate for. An hmr should not be a fire one shot every ten minutes to be accurate. Anyone want to buy it. Cheap.

from the posts on here ,maybe you should ckeck the barrel.might be you got one with no rifling also.
 
Remington 700 mountain rifle in 280, bought new the barrel shot sideways across the paper, the stock cracked out, I have poured thousands of dollars into this gun, new stock new barrel all custom gunsmithed nothing but problems, but Bob at Custom Gunworxs got it shooting for me now shoots 1/2 groups all day but the gun is now more aftermarket and custom than it is origanal, as it was out of the box it was a pos!!!!!!!
 
Had a 7400 Rem, this was a bad weapon it was jamming all the time and after that they wonder why we dont buy their guns no more, never as in i will never by a GM either... JP.
 
Last month, I purchased a Norinco JW-105 from a company in Saskatchewan via the internet. On receiving this rifle I gave the rifle a good cleaning and fired the rifle twice and both times it was almost impossible to open the bolt. I had a close look at the fired cases and noticed that the bore axis wasn't in line with the chamber! I was able to send this pile of junk back to the distributor with pics of the cases. A refund was given promptly.. Kudos to that company in Saskatchewan. I was warned about the quality of Norinco quite a number of years ago and I assumed that they would have cleaned up their act by now because they are still in business. Obviously I was mistaken. This would be a warning for all to stay away from Norinco, I will from now on!
 
Savage?!

Savage 110 hands down. Grouped like a shotgun and clunky. My son had a Remington 710 and it was actually a good shooter.

My wife's mini 14 is more effective at scaring the coyotes that take her poultry than it is at hitting them.

Most accurate factory guns? - My tikkas - no contest.

I have two Savage rifles both bolt guns one a .223 and the other is a .308.
Both work flawlessly. the .223 groups 1/4" at 100 meters and the .308 groups 3/8" at 100 meters. You may have just got a bad one.

I have a Norinco that functions flawlessly. Guess it depends which factory pumps it out as Norinco is simply an export name for a bunch of different manufactures.
 
I had never met a challenge in reloading for accuracy until my Armalite AR-180B. I tried the whole year and couldn’t get it shooting better than 2.5 MOA.

It was traded in for another rifle and I lost $400.
 
I had a Squires-Bingham 12ga pump that GROUPED like a 12ga; but obviously that wasn't the problem. Problem was twofold: It weighed a TON and the forestock/pump rattled like a loose exhaust pipe no matter what I did. Couldn't sneak up on a grouse for anything. But I was 17, it was my first shotgun (used and cheap of course) and didn't mind lugging around the noisy anvil. I'd buy it back in a second now... just because. Bet you've all had one like that.

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 love bashing the Ruger Mini14 noisemaker.

Worst grouping rifle I ever owned, & I was very happy when it was gone from the gun cabinet. (ranch rifle)
 
A Ruger mark II bolt. Jammed often, refused to eject the spent case, probable a relatively minor fix, extractor etc. but It jammed on 3 seperate chances at deer for me and even if fixed, would have been hard to trust it.

I have 3 old sporterized 6.5x55's on the other hand that I have complete faith in and all 3 in total cost about as much as that Ruger did.
 
For me and you're going to laugh is a Swede Mauser, just couldn't get it to shoot right, 6MOA avg, tried factory loads and hand ones, crown looked ok..Awesome Caliber though

I'm just not a Mauser fan period, tried twice but no charm.

2nd would be a older version Mini-14 as someone stated, fun to shoot but not staight :p
