When to give up on rifle?

[Bimmer]

What's the best way to handle selling a rifle that doesn't perform well? I mean from a moral/ethical standpoint. Do you treat it as a buyer beware thing? If they ask why you are selling it, do you sugar coat the truth or do you tell them that accuracy sucks?

Tell the truth. You don't want to be That Guy.

My experience: My father handed down a Frankenstein Remington 1100 to me that wouldn't function consistently. I tried/fixed everything, including opening up the gas ports. Like you, I finally got fed up with it and sold it.

I posted it on GunBroker, with a link to the long thread on ShotgunWorld where I discussed how to fix it (or not), and it sold for double what my father had bought it for...

Nevermind Foxx: Dump this thing and move on. You'll be happier when it's gone.

I agree. I never said "DON"T SELL IT". I said I would not sell it. I am different. I am the guy that would buy it. I said it would be tough to sell right now for a decent price because there are real low prices on new Savages out there.
