[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 3076706, member: 113623"] I had a Ruger American Rimfire that shot 6-8" groups at 50 yards that was of the usual Ruger inferior fit and finish. Remington 783 that just would not feed from the magazines properly. Granted those are both budget offerings, so the expectations was pretty low. I also made the mistake of buying a Desert Tech MDRX because I had been following their development since the beginning and it was sort of a bucket list gun for me. Was not worth the money, clumsy trigger and horribly heavy controls due to being a bullpup. The handguard attachment was weak, and the barrel could be installed clocked slightly left or right. When you pull the trigger and nothing happens, there is no way to assess or see what was wrong. Finicky ejection system as well with the forward ejection model, but that was all they had at the time. I think the gas system also needed a lot of break in, more so than I was willing to commit to in light of all the other problems. Also found out that DT is a lot more of a small scale/boutique/fly by night type of company than I had previously realized. Not trying to bad mouth them, but trying to get the "upgraded" handguard what a lesson in patience. Sold it and got my money back but it was disappointing considering how excited I had been to finally get my hands on one. [/QUOTE]
