[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 3072957, member: 86754"] I bought an 80's Push Feed Mod 70- Featherweight in 7x57 off Gunbroker once. When I took it apart for a much needed cleaning (even the scope bases had rust oozing out from under) a bunch of shims fell out/scattered. That was my first clue. Upon reassembling (with no shims, just to see) I couldn't get on paper at 50yards! Upon close examination, the scope holes were drilled way off Center. I sold it, as I hate shims and there was no guarantee it even shot right when shimmed. My "first" deer rifle as a 13yr old was an H&R Topper in 30-30. One kicking little snot! I could barely manage a 5" group at 75yds. Never killed a deer with it, sold it. Then traded a saddle for a Universal M1 Carbine with about a 10# trigger pull. Jammomatic. I could go on about other junk guns, thats why I ended up a Looney, buying/trying, selling/trading for the last 60 years, ha! BTW, I have "zero tolerance" for unreliable junk! Zero! lol [/QUOTE]
