HA, +1
I propose that despite torture as it creates, a new thread should be started to include some GOOD manufacturers. Sabre Defense, Noveske, LMT, J.P Rifles, etc.
That should skew the results some.
You'd think so, but no it won't. Too many people are quick to vote in fanboy mode for "their" brand just because "they've had no problems with it".
Which is great - and that rifle is probably awesome for your intended use, but it doesn't mean that particular brand is better quality than another brand that you've never shot.
