A later model Savage bolt in .17hmr. The clip is a piece of junk. The loading ramp is sloppy.

Just about each round will hang up and you have to drop the clip, clear the screwed up round.

Now the A17 I have uses a rotary clip like the Ruger .22. It works great.

I got it at K-mart years ago for $99.95

I guess I just got a good one.



Same here put thousands of rounds through the one I had it ran like a clock.

hatfield PAS 12 GA. pump. more like POS. no quality control, the pin that holds the trigger assembly in keeps falling out, and it barley cycles. when we wrote to the company, they told us to buy another one and get 50% off. yah no thanks, I don't want another (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) gun.

Mine is awesome, got it for Christmas in 1993ish, limited edition with gold trigger and gold "coin" embedded in buttstock. Best gun I've ever had to date! My dad's 10/22 has jammed way more than my 60.

I bought a Rem 742 in 1967. Contrary to the experiences many have had, mine was a workhorse and very dependable. Has never jammed in the field. My handloads all use small base dies.

I had a Sportsman 58 in 16 gauge as a kid. It had some problems but was a great pointing and handling shotgun and had high mileage when I sold it years ago for $45.

I have one of those pieces of crap. Bought it brand new a few months ago and it started misfiring with light primer strikes right off the bat. Sent it back to Mossberg and they supposedly fixed it. It started misfiring again so I sent it back again. This time they supposedly put a new bolt in it. Got it back and it still misfires.

Mine was a remington 870 20 gauge youth. You literally couldn't hit anything with it. I hunted with it for many years before I realized it was the gun and not me.

Any of the old percussion cap muzzleloaders. My dad had a CVA and rem 700 muzzleloaders and you had to be more than particular in cleaning the breech plugs or they'd hang fire or not fire half the time.

Dad bought me and my brother both the rem 870 20 youths. My brothers couldnt throw a slug worth a darn, loved to throw scopes though. Never had an issue with mine though, still use it today for squirrels.

Heritage Rough Rider 22 pistol worst gun I have ever owned. I know some of you guys like them and maybe I just got a bad one but it's not even accurate enough to use as a dispatch pistol. The bullets hit sideways on paper at 20 foot unless I'm shooting pretty high velocity ammo. When I have recovered bullet one end of the tail of the bullet is always a bit flattened.

I still have the Md 60 I bought back in 1971. It still shoots as good as the day I bought it at the Holiday gas station in Jamestown N.D. for 39.00. A brick of 500 was 4.99


I bought a 11-87 for my oldest son that was a nightmare for him.

I sold the one that wouldn't shoot. We have a newer one that my wife uses. It shoots just fine.

I had one of those too. I sold it very soon after buying it.

I have one. At 15 yards I have to aim about a foot low n right to hit my intended target.
Can't adjust the sites.
It does fire when needed to though.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
