We have three in 243 and they are all shooters. The third one was to be a parts machine as it cost little more than a new mag. Shot too well to part out.Quote:

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.
Churchill 270
I know I know:sick:
Could not hit shit with it. Bolt was a real bitch to! Really hard to cock and had a trigger you needed a hammer to set off.
Looked nice but only lasted two trips....weekend trips :yuush:

Fired 2 shoots and thought, why on earth did I buy this.
Sold it a week later and bought a 452 American instead.
Didn't loose any money and ended up with the rifle I shouldve bought in the first place.
Other one certainly took a lot longer to realise, but I shouldve spent a bit more and bought a 11-87 instead of my Remington 870.
IMO pump guns are shit. I'll replace it some day, probably with a underover, just to go to the other end of the spectrum.
Probably the most popular, and would be mine too mate, amazing though how life improved dramatically when I divorced it...:thumbsup:Quote:

Firearms Co. Alpine Model bolt action in 308, trying to sight it in and had to get closer and closer to get on paper, eventually did... at 20mtrs and it was 15cm high. Looked like the mounts had been "customised" with a hand file.
I shimmed it to get it shooting roughly in the right direction but wouldn't group for shit. Still got it, I'll fix it one day, honest!
@veitnamcam - how long ago did you have the issues with the 44mag Rossi? thinking of getting one in the near future and worried there might be a dud batch come in?
Probably 8 or 9 years ago.Quote:

Lovely to fire, accurate (once it was recrowned to fix the previous owners horrible hack-job of threading it), but at 10lb bare weight with a 26" truck axle barrel it wasn't even remotely suited to the hunting I was doing, walking the hills for rabbits/goats/wallabies.
Didn't lose any money on it at least, sold it for a more sensible sporter weight 223 which shoots just as well.
Come to think of it, I have had pangs of buyers remorse for every single bolt action hunting rifle I have purchased
I might have a doozy regarding this thread shortly.
Hopefully not. But I will know in a week or 2

The firearm in question was not purchased from a member.
As I said, I am not yet regretting it but I may do if something is not resolved fairly.

Well here's to hoping you don't post anything about it then.

I just avoided buyers remorse at an auction earlier this week, got beaten into second place.
@P38 Will be here soon as hes off to the Florida gun show:P
Trust me. It will be one expensive tuna sinker.Quote:

Well that's just the thing. One of my mates used to let his daughter shoot with a 22 Hornet and killed plenty of deer. If that was me most of the deer would still be running :x_x:Quote:

What about scopes....
vortex viper HS great build but less than average optics
vortex PST 4-16 couldnt see rabbits at 16x power I could see with my 8x binos
Bushnell Elite 4.5-30 dissapointing past 20x
Clearidge 4.5-22 better than the Bushnell...
Sighton S-Tac 4-20 should have known better at US $350
Meopta HTR 6.5-20 Well Meopta sure know how to f..k up one of the best scopes out there!
Zeiss Conquest HD5 5-25 HD yeah right...optics on par with the old MC but tunnel view, dumb zero stop, 5 oz heavier
The only one I'm happy with so far is my Conquest MC 6.5-20 with the No 20 reticle. But I have a second one with No 43 reticle that does not focus as sharply! and sent a third one back that also didnt focus properly and had a foreign object inside it!.
Probably going to regret the Nikon X1000 I have just ordered as well...when will I lean...never as you just have to take a punt because you cant trust anyone of the manufacturers to deliver what they promise and its almost impossible to actually go into a gunshop in NZ and try before you buy with optics.
Just buy the S&B shorty down the road and be done with it Grant [emoji6]Quote:

Took two days from the time I ordered it to the time the front desk notified me I had a package arrive, came half way across the country too.

So far no regrets with anything Nikon. Will be interested to hear how you go.Quote:

No regrets for me , but some for the guy who turned up yesterday with a semi auto, off trade me, would not cycle , just about dented the shell, wrong magazine ( it was filled to fit) apparently going back on trade me, so watch out for a tiger stripped.22 ( stripes burn,t in with a blow torch )

Can't find anything or anyone that supplys parts. Oh and if you order some from walther in Germany you may or may not get them. SOLD it and bought a marlin 795 fricken love that gun.
