Thread: Question: What’s the worst (hunting) rifle you've ever owned/used & why?

Any rifle will rust chronically if you allow it to sit with water on it with no oil - correct me if i'm wrong here. Are there ANY rifles on the market that can take a night covered in water after a days hunting?

None of the weapons I used in the infantry were immune to rust. In fact, each soldier was checked each morning (out in the boonies) and if his rifle had rust, he was punished. Loss of pay and restriction of privileges. I used to clean and re-oil 2 times a day if it was a wet day.

Agh T3 bashing. The freakin things can shoot a fly's balls off and yet crosseyed hunters still maintain its the rifle and not them. If you want MOA accuracy then buy one new, if you can honestly say you consistently do under 1" at 100y normally but cant with a T3 - return it for a test. But get ready to eat your hat if their guys can verify the rifle does shoot LOL. They testfire 5 rifles a week there from shitty shooters and only a few units a year are actually faulty.

As for sako's. Well i dunno - some say they love em, some say they used to be better. Accuracy wise I keep getting beaten by dudes using them but the T3 holds its own. I could swap rifles and still get beaten i'm sure.

Rifle i hated - i held a remington varmint / sythetic stock and the bolt felt like it had sand in it. Out of the box it isnt like a T3, but that's not to say they cant be worked on until they're wicked. Some dude told me his rem 700 does 1/4MOA...Anything is possible.
