Default RE: quality manufacturers

OK guys, lets take it one step at a time.....first EMF
I've only bought two guns from them.....both .45LC premier handguns.....very pretty guns.....both required such repairs as replacement of "bolts" and on one gun the barrel unscrewed in my hands.....the barrel was not tight at all!! I fought with them for months trying to get repairs done.....sorry....the list a grievances was way too many to remember.....what a bunch of turkeys!!!

Savage....careful now....the grievances go back many years... I bought a fox deluxe side by side 12 Ga. I had to return it because there was an interferrence in one extractor that caused the left barrel to not eject the spent shell. Savage fixed it and returned it....then the safety didn't work....Savege fixed it and returned it to me.....then the right side trigger failed to work, Savage fixed it and returned it to me.....then the ventillated rib broke lose from the receiver.....I about sh!t....at my request they replaced the shotgun with a M-99 .308....and that thing had many problems as well.....I finally sawed it in half and trashed it and bought a M-70 Winchester!!! Many years later A friend bought a 110 left hand .223.....shot fabulously.....horrible trigger so he sent it back and then the safety didn't work,.......in the end he wound up with a singleshot with no safety......ok for a prairiedog shooter!!!

I've owned three Rugers....a M77 .243....stock warped so bad that it wouldn't hold 4" groups.....one Mini14 had 11 pound triggerpull and wouldn't shoot inside a 10" pie plate at 100 yards.....and an other M77 7 Mag that would't feed shells up from the Magazine.....

Three Weatherby .22 rimfires that misfired more than you can believe and a M-V that had several problems.....finish cracked to heck and I couldn't reload ammo for it.....RCBS confirmed that the chamber in the MarkV was wrong.....
