    3 out of 4 rifles don't work!

    I have bought 4 rifles over the past 4 weeks, Howa 1500 .308, Air Arms ev2, cz 455 .22LR and a Remington 700 in 204. Three of them don't work right and have had to go back to manufacturer or importers. Can you guess which one works?

    Not all were new, none were over 6 months old.

    If Howa are jap made, I'd guess that would be working -

    My guess Remington Model 700 was the one that didn't let you down - it's the one they have had most practice making

    The mass produced cz is working fine. That's my guess.
    Everything works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out yet, then its not the end!

    EV2 wouldn't take the .308 cartridge?

    The EV2 has been back twice and just about to go back again for an air leek.

    The Remington is cutting the cases because the extractor claw is not moving when pushing the bolt forward. That's back with Edgar Brothers and has been there for 3 weeks!

    The CZ is not loading the rounds, as you push the bolt forward it shoots the round out the breach. Only bought this new yesterday, going back today!

    Well done PCPshooter. The Howa is the only one that works. Good solid Japanese rifle that's also nearly the cheapest of the four.

    Talk about pi$$ed off........
