I purchased a cheap hunting rifle for my first rifle ( Remington 770). It was a .270 win and it shot straight but good luck feeding shells. Only good thing I got from it was my first deer and a respect for a .270 win. I still own the rifle because I can' t bring myself to selling that hunk of metal to anyone and feel good about it. My question is this, I don't care what the reason was but what is the one rifle you wish you never would have purchased and why?
This was my first gun as well only in 30-06. I think they all had feed issues because the action was so sloppy.
I cant say I regret buying it as it was the spark that set me off on my now obsession with hunting. I couldnt afford anything else at the time (that I could find locally) so had it not been for this gun I may not be where I am now. Ultimately I gave mine to my younger brother to use as a beater gun as he was learning to hunt. It shot accurate and worked fine but you couldn't be in a hurry to chamber the next round.
The only gun I ever truly regret buying is a CVA Electra. It was an electric ignition muzzleloader. I had never muzzleloader hunted before and these were $100 when I bought one. I've had that guy fail to fire on 4 deer before I finally put it in the safe to never be used again.
