Since I lost all of my guns in hurricane Katrina, I've bought replacement guns that are cheaper than the ones I lost. It seems you get what you pay for. The Buffalo Classic barrel is over bored, with bullets wobbling down the barrel. My little Marlin has a twist rate that can't throw a spiral! The bullets are tumbling in flight!
I wonder why Savage can make a less expensive gun where the barrel doesn't suck?
I'm old and have been shooting for many years. I've been lurking here for a long time and, I am amazed at how knowledgeable y'all are. Usually men who've spent the time and learned their stuff, are pretty particular about what they buy.
Really, this is no put-down on you guys, it just amazes me how y'all defend these guns against those who complain about stuff that is absolutely correct. I'm keeping what I have. I am gonna be hand loading all of my own ammo so, I am probably gonna be able to come up with some decent groups. But man, these puppies are lousy right out of the box with just any old factory fare!
I always had to work up loads in order to tighten-up a group. With these guns I gotta work up a load to keep the bullet in the parish! By the time I manage to get these guns somewhat accurate, I hope to be as proud of my Harrington & Richardson's and my little Marlin as y'all are.
But, if I had the money.....
