[QUOTE="Hunterjones, post: 2770598, member: 112130"] One of said rifles I gave up on was made by a Finnish company that had recently been acquired by an Italian company. After much complaining about accuracy deteriorating (rifle had 5 shot accuracy guarantee) in under 200 rounds they had me send said rifle back. They kept it for about 7-8 months with no contact except me contacting them and they finally asked me for my receipt so they could REFUND MY MONEY. No offer of a replacement. I found out a few years later that they had a batch of bad barrels during the time of my purchase and had a couple of barrels explode with at least one causing fairly serious injury to individual firing it. Just thought I’d share this story with OP. This rifle went from the first 3-4 groups of factory ammo when brand new shooting ragged holes at 100 yards to 1.5”-2.5” after 20-30 rounds thru it…………. I never found out exact deal with the bad barrels but I honestly believe that the first time or two the barrel heated up cause it to stress relieve and something was done improperly during manufacture. Metallurgy, heat treat, SOMETHING [/QUOTE]
