[QUOTE="skookum, post: 3086611, member: 38521"] Worst gun to date: Savage A17 17hmr. Was picky on ammo that would feed and shot 2-3" at 100 yards. I filled the Tupperware stock with some epoxy and steel rods and bedded the action and it brought it down to a 1.5" gun but still didn't like to feed most ammo. I couldn't complain too much, I bought it when Walmart had that brief period of wanting to liquidate all their firearms and only paid $150 for it. I ended up selling to a friend for what I paid for it. 2nd worst: Marlin 917 bolt 17hmr. Gun is very accurate when the round goes off but it's about 50/50 whether that happens or not. The gun as a whole is incredibly cheap and poorly designed but there are still 1000s of ground squirrels that became bird food because of it. I reached out to Marlin to see if I could get a replacement bolt spring and never heard back. Might be time to replace it with a Tikka or CZ. [/QUOTE]
