Your worst rifle/gun ever.. - Page 5

My grandfather had a 22LR semi-auto Winchester. Biggest piece of crap I ever seen. Feed ramp was at such an extreme angle, the 22 shells would wedge upon feeding, both jamming and often crimping the casing. This occurred frequently. Very dangerous gun (design), IMO.

Rdamours · #**122** 04-01-2014, 09:20 PM

Same here. Wore my finger prints off pulling that bolt back to unjam it.

A Winchester model 1400 I believe was the jam master semi. I could see it not wanting to load reloads but factory ammo jammed as well.

look not far, Ruger Single Shot Rifle new out of the box in .303 British , a very popular Limited Edition Rifle

I bought a new savage 17 hornet in February. First and last savage for me. Won't bolt shells through. I've tried cleaning everything checking everything. If it don't jam bolting in it won't eject. Luckily it's almost impossible to find ammo for. Planning on sending it back for warrenty

SKS they work but every thing is so cheap stamped parts.i think I've got 20 rounds through it so now it just taking up space

Without a doubt the worst gun I have ever owned(and the only gun I have ever sold) would be a model 94 30-30. Was nice and light but other than that it was terrible. My Daisy BB gun I got when I was 8 had better sights and safety. Not a fan of lever actions anymore because of that gun. Don't get me wrong I used it exclusively for about 6 years and killed more than a few deer with it but I hated how that stupid rear tang sight would get pushed over by carrying it, slinging it on your back, or even looking at it. Put one of those goofy offset scope mounts on it and it was more accurate but was bizarre to shoot. Once I got my Tikka T3 featherlite in 270win I never even shot it again.

I bot a new 1980's browning A bolt in 3006 when they were fresh on the market, it recoiled like a rifle twice its size and half its weight.
accuracy was acceptable but im still dealing with 'the flinch' to this day as a result.

I went to 'down' to a lighter recoiling 300wby after that episode.

the brother also had an A bolt in 300winmag, it was unbearable in recoil as well.
maybe new ones are better designed but I will never buy one again.

ha ha ha !! Thats pretty much it to a tee. Constant jamming, could barely get through a clip without it jamming up. Traded it plus cash for a weatherby vanguard which was so worth it!

A Botio 12 ga. O/U, for the first 100 rounds or so worked fine. Then after that it became very hard to open after shooting both barrels. I had to break it over my knee to get it to open. You get what you pay for.

oldphart · #**133** 05-14-2014, 01:06 AM

I once had a Remington model 600 in .308 with a 18" barrel.
After shooting it a few, very few times I would flinch when walking past the closet it was in. That rifle could really kick. I sold it and have never bought another Remington or a .308 and that was 1973.

Beached Whale · #**134** 05-14-2014, 08:59 PM

2 of the 3 700's I've had have been bad.

I tore the bolt handle off my Senduro 2 days into a 8 day sheep hunt, which quickly turned into a 2 day sheep hunt.

Remington SPS in 270, worst rifle I've ever had. It had a bad barrel and just plain wouldn't shoot.

That sounds like a terror.I thought it was only me that felt that way about the 600!

Had a mossberg pump that was a pain. The action would jam a lot, had a friend look at it his words "pawn it and cut your losses. best advise ever.

-JR- · #**138** 05-27-2014, 06:06 AM

Remington 30-06 auto
Loved the rifle because it shot very tight groups when i loaded up some ballistic tipped bullets .
I hated it because of that little tang you had to try and pull back when it was cold and hard to clean the action.
# one reason it was dangerous......always loaded after you shot it.

Bought a rem. 700 in 308 with 24" barrel heavy contour bdl. Shot 5-6 inch groups at 100 yards. Pillar bedded the action and full glass bedded the action and barrel. Now shots 3/16 inch groups at 100 yards. Now one of my favourites

raab · #**140** 05-29-2014, 02:37 PM

Mossberg 530 shotgun, every second shot had live shells falling to the ground. Took it back to Cabelas after two days and bought a used Wingmaster. Needless to say the problem was fixed and the Wingmaster has worked perfectly so far.

elk hunter · #**141** 05-29-2014, 11:54 PM

I bought a Remington 700 SPS in 7mm08 and shoots all over the board. I've tried Remington, winchester hornady and nozzler but just as I get it grouping in it starts to open up. I've had older BDLs and they shoot any bullet any time but I will never buy another Remington ever.

I ended up fixing it, as the video says, but sold it not long after. Looked pretty but terrible manafacturing quality.

The SPS stock is one that responds real well to being bedded. That will often fix their grouping right up.
