    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........

    Think I'm just about to get my money back on them all. Fed up with waiting for rifles to be repaired and the after service you get. The Rem .204 came back tuesday and then went back to edgars again as its still marking cases. CZ was sent back same day. Air arms went back last friday.
    Just called both Edgar brothers and Air arms, they both say they've not looked at them yet! I would have thought, that because they have been back for repair before that they would sort them asap.


    Golf bats wanted.

    Update Air arms just called back, they didn't know they even had it there!! FFS

    3 out of 4 of mine don't work either, but that's due more to my prowess as a marksman than the fault of the guns.

    They just called me back, again. They have found it. Now they have just told me it's an ex demo rifle, the shop that sold it to me didn't say that. I asked for a new one and I was told no they want to try and fix it again.

    John you couldn't have, they said they don't get many EV2s back.
