I bought my model 60 in 1983 and its had thousands of rounds go through it with no trouble. RG 10 22 cal double action revolver was biggest piece of crap I ever owned.

Remington 750 woodsmaster. Not only is it a jam-o-matic, its also the most inaccurate rifle ever. I don't know how I used to kill deer with it...

LOL, I told you it had it's defenders. I've seen several and none would run through a magazine or two before it started jamming. It's no 10/22 Ruger! ... but us cheapskates all bought one to learn the hard way.

Can't remember the model #, but I had a Savage 20ga/.22 LR O/U that shot the .221 barrel 2 ft low at 10 yds and nothing I could do would fix it.

Pretty easy pick for that being a Iver Johnston Sealed Eight 22lr revolver that I inherited from my grandma. It has gutter sights so no real rear sight. It is double action only even though it has a full hammer and the trigger isn't very good to boot. But the worst feature of the gun is that I have to remove the cylinder axis pin in order to remove the cylinder every time I want to load or unload the gun. Plus I have to use the axis pin to punch cartridges out of the cylinder. That gun is just an absolute pain to shoot.

And that is saying something since I also have an AMT Automag II in 22 mag which loves to jam. I do have a Mossberg bolt action shotgun in 410ga but I actually like that little gun.

25-35 Winchester model 94. When I was a kid I missed more deer with that weapon from 1966 til 1969 than all the rest of my rifles put together in the last 50 some years.
My dad bought it for me used when I was 11 years old and I still have it. lol

My firearms are like kids, wouldn’t dream of getting rid of any of them, except two.

Remington 700 synthetic with stainless fluted barrel in 22-250 circa 2002

Mossberg 500 Slug Gun circa 2015’ish

Neither would hit the broad side of a barn. I spent a lot of money on every brand/type/load of ammo I could come up with to try and get them to shoot to no avail.

P.S., loved my mid 80’s Model 60! Killed lots of squirrels growing up with that rifle. It was eventually stolen out of my truck and I’ve never been happy with a squirrel gun since.

Browning A-500 Twelve gauge semi-automatic.

Never cycled a 2nd round in it's whole miserable career.

It was a Jamming S.O.B.

Bought it brand new in the box & payed a pretty penny.

Had it replaced twice but all of those guns were high dollar single shots.

No gun smith could figure out the jamming/cycling problem, either.

Absolute junk.

Taurus .38 special revolver, when they first came in the country back in the 80's.

Soft steel, action out of time, shaving bullets when fired...Taurus has came a long way since those early examples.

Ruger Model 77 left handed 30-06, I special ordered it when they first start making them. Early 90's. 5" groups at 100 yards was the best I could get. Traded it for a Marlin 30-30 and a 870 Rem express youth 20 ga and was very happy with the trade.

Winchester SXP... I have had several of them and this one was terrible. It cycled rough and I could aim right at a paper target and the whole pattern was three feet off at thirty yards. Sold it.

I have had great luck with a lot of guns.

Savage Rascal that I bought for the kids to start learning with, they called it the " clicker " for it's failure to fire. Tried different ammo with no luck so sent it back to Savage. After I got it back it was no better than before so I sent it back. After I got it back the second time not only did they not fix it it wouldn't always eject the shell so I got it back worse then when I sent it in crazy After that my kids grew out of it and they now both have ruger 10/22's which have been great.

This is kinda funny, but I'm probably the only person alive who has had bad luck with Ruger 10/22's....Had a older model with twin action rods, and a couple of newer ones and none of them ran dependably.

And, I kept them clean!

Come to think of it, none of the semi-auto .22 LR's I've been around were truly dependable, but some were better than others.

Iver Johnson .380 semiauto I bought in the early 80's. It never fired a shot because it came without a firing pin out of the box. It went back and I got a Colt Govt .380 instead.
