[QUOTE="HBoothe, post: 1970049, member: 115172"] I tried to find answers a few years ago when, as a middle-aged adult, I got into centerfire rifles. Jeez, what a quagmire. Guys buy something and it instantly the best ever. Their cartridge choice is "the best" cartridge. The applications for and the actual application of a firearm vary so widely that no "best" fits all. Your "best" bet, I think, is to look at info like defects, "the mag on this fed poorly", "the safety was a bear to engage/disengage", etc. Things more likely to be "universal" to that model. Accuracy...ha! Maybe the guy can't shoot, maybe he can't be honest about his inability, maybe his ammo sucks, maybe he's shot 5 rounds and doesn't really know what it will do, let alone how long the rifle will last. Maybe the rifle doesn't see daylight even yearly...but he owns it, it's the best. $#&%. FWIW. --HC [/QUOTE]
