In light of all the gun and bullet threads it seemed time to go down this road.


What is the biggest pile of scrap iron you ever owned?

Remington 870 supermag.
Absolutely junk. Poor quality overall. Horrible fit and finish. Handled like a brick.


Just happy to be here.

Ruger M77 MkII in 30-06 with the paddle stock. That thing was a dud. It would only shoot 10MOA at 100 yards, not exaggerating by much.. All kinds of varying loads and went over the rings and scope multiple times. Never had even close to such poor accuracy with a rife before or since.
The only good thing was that I sold it for what I had into it.

The only thing it did was go off, but you couldn't hit the side of a barn if you were inside of it with it!

I am lucky in that I have never had one that I could not get to shoot somehow.

Don't remember the model number but it was a Mossberg bolt action shotgun. The shotgun version of the Yugo.

Toss-up between a Remington .308 model 742 Jam-O-Matic and a Benelli Super Black Eagle. 742 shot 'minute of washtub' size groups when it did work; Benelli , bolt would drop back out of battery about a eighth of an inch any time the muzzle was elevated above 45 degrees, which caused it to mis-fire. Sent it back a half a dozen times. Benelli finally told me to "just deal with it"... I did..traded it at a pawn shop for a Browning Gold Hunter and never looked back.

Yeah that Marlin 60 22 would drive you to learn bad words.

It has its defenders, but they'll never convince me.

I have one that is a tackdriver with the factory installed barrel. No mods , completely stock. Very few jams even with cheap ammo. Sub 1" groups @ 100 ft range all day long.

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

I guess I just got a good one.

Mossberg Maverick 12 Gauge pump, stiffest (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) pump I ever shot, was a complete POS, I have no problems with any other Mossbergs I have owned though
