As far as James great luck with guns

You know I think its one of those things that people worry about if they are looking for troubles. I believe its just human nature for us to try to see what we want to see. Because if a certain gun was actually inferior or piece of junk and we owned , it would mean our isn't as good as yours.

I know I am guilty of it. For instance, when I got my sako 75, I was impressed by everything around about it. When the threads were going around about barrel ruptures and all, I refused to worry about it. But if it was a gun I didn't like or had a bad taste in my mouth over an experience, I would have made note and said "look at that junk".

I know I had bad experiences with two remingtons, one made in 1999 and the other in 2002. Ever since then, I have been dogging them a tad. Only seeing the negative.

But recently I aquired a 1981 700BDL deluxe that is just wonderful. Shoots well. Deep bluing, metal floor plate. Great wood.
