Not sure I've had a bad rifle.
First 1911 was a Kimber… now that was a turd. Hurt feelings inbound.

1968....had an M14 that was awesome. Never failed, heavy, reliable, but, never failed me. Army issued us M16 in 1969 and that beotch would jam if you looked at it wrong.
Bought a 303 enfield in the mid eighties. Thought it might make a good cheap hunting rifle. And it was, you could shoot around corners with it

Can't recall ever having one that I owned that was bad, but have shot a few that I wouldn't have.

Remington model 7s, ALL OF THEM. Ive owned a couple and shot a few others and they are hands down, the sorriest garbage Ive ever fooled with.
Ive never had a 7 that wouldn't shoot. Got a little 7-08 that will ring 6in steel out to 600 yards
My model 7 Predator is a hammer. Every model 7 I've ever been around shoots from good to great.

Not the case with me, owned over a hundred and no issues, I don't shoot long ranges but mine are deadly with the correct ammo
Buddy you've really had a go round with that rifle for sure!
Winchester Model 94. Would jam every time I worked the lever. Traded it for 250 slant 6

Henry H010 45-70 lever action. Wouldn't cycle without jamming. Henry replaced the barrel with one that had junky Marlin type sights instead of the ghost rings I bought the rifle for in the first place. I sold that piece if shiot and never looked back.
I loved that slant 6, it was bomb proof. And damned easy to work on when necessary, which wasn't very often.

Ruger 77 lightweight in .270. Couldn't get it to group worth a crap. Tried every bullet, powder combo, tried factory ammo, bedded barrel and action. Nothing helped. Barrel, chamber, and muzzle all looked good, never could figure it out and finally got rid of it.
Traded a good Rem Mdl 7 in .243 for it. Worse rifle trade I ever made and always regretted it.

Remington pump carbine 30-06, circa late 70's. The first shot might have been kinda close, after that you couldn't hit a Mack truck.

I had a couple 6.5 creedmoors. Never shot any of them, but I know they were junk, wouldn't shoot good, and wouldn't a kill a deer if you hit it in the vitals. I don't know if it was because it was a creedmoor or 6.5 tho.
When a firearm jams or has some other types of mechanical problems I'd relate that to production quality.
When you tell me that a 6.5 creedmore can't kill a deer, I'd relate that to operator error in most cases. Poor shot placement, poor distance judgement, etc. This story actually validates my positive attitude about a firearm and projectile. And there are thousand of posotive kills if not more since that firearm came out in 2007. It's the old story, practice, practice, practice. And if scope is involved, there are many aspects there: over torqued tube, scope tilted, loose even if you think it's tight, cross hairs a problem, lense problems, but it mostly comes back to operator(POOR SHOT).
This is just one positive story, there are more than you have time to read. So here is the facts: It will kill a deer, elk, bear, bore, antelope, and more.
