I bought a Ruger 10/22 for my son last Christmas. After he opened it, I looked at the rifle and noticed that the rear site was tilted to one side. The grove for the sight had actually been cut in the wrong place. This wasn't just a slight error, it was pretty obvious when you looked at it. I was rather disappointed to see that something this bad could get through to a customer. I always thought Ruger made quality stuff, but that made me think twice.

i can not imagine giving a gun to anyone, much less my children without going all over it.
sure it was their fault but i feel you should have checked also.

44 with the front sight canted to one side.
Sent it back and they trued it up -no charge.
Just a pain in the neck to have to do that
when QC could have caught it before it went out
the door.

I agree if you're talking about a used gun, but I don't expect a brand new gun to have such a glaring mistake right from the factory. You shouldn't need to inspect it.
Stevens Favorite model 30 from Savage Arms.
I took the rifle back to the dealer & they
sent it to the local repair facility. They
sent it back wanting to why it had been sent
in. The dealer then sent it to Savage & quite
a while later I recieved a totally new rifle.
How it could have gotten through an inspector
is bad enough but for the repair facility
not to see what was wrong was rediculous.
It was not just a little off it was way out.
