Had a pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight in .30-06. Hated it. mtmuley
My grandad had two 6.5 Italian Carcanos. The first was a shooter and was his deer rifle for a while, but eventually was stolen in a break-in. He bought another to replace it that ended up being much like the one you're talking about: couldn't hit the side of a hog barn. I remember sneaking into his room as a kid to look at his guns and lusted over those pointy bullets with the red ballistic tips that I swore were tracers.Worst gun ever was my first rifle I bought when I turned 18. Bought it at a gun show. It was a 6.5 Italian Carcano with a "genuine" Oswald scope mounted to it. I paid $29 for it in 1968. The scope had crosshairs which moved independently from each other. It shot terrible, couldn't hit a 4X8 piece of plywood at 50 yards. Glad it's gone. Gave me more reason to believe there was more than one shooter in the Kennedy assassination if Oswald really shot a 6.5 Carcano.
Maybe. I don't like Tikka or Browning either. Some rifles just don't do it for everybody. mtmuleyBlasphemy! Haha!

She don't do it for me. She probly has less plastic than a Tikka though. mtmuleyThat's like calling Kathy Ireland ugly.
I shoot RUMs. I like Remingtons. A different drum for sure. mtmuleyDifferent strokes for different folks. You march to the beat of your own drum mtmuley.
I bought a Howa 1500 in .308 at a DU banquet in the live auction. Overpayed but don't mind that so much. I can't get anything to shoot out of mine either. Sits in the safe for the most part. I may try and trade it on something else someday.Howa 7mag. Worst gun i ever owned. Nothing would shoot accurately out of it.
My 243 Vanguard shoots extremely well, and it's my daughter's rifle too.Weatherby Vangard, 1st gen (Howa) in 243 Win.
Bought for my daughter to hunt with.
First 3 rounds within the advertised 1" at 100 yards.
After that groups opened up exponentially, litterally!
Let cool for 2 hours. No good.
Only after letting it sit overnight would it do 1" group. And only once.
Free floated barrel, put pressure in forestock, bedded action, changed scopes, let someone else shoot it.
Nothing worked!
She traded it for a Bowtech Infinite Edge.
I sorely want a 257 Weatherby! But it won't be in the form of a Vangard!
