Anyone ever get a rifle and not fully fall in love with it?
Took my Springfield Saint to the range today along with my Henry. Both rifles I need to shoot more and improve my accuracy, only a 25 yard range and I still struggle to shoot the bullseye consistently.
The Henry i added a ranger point precision peep sight and my grouping has drastically improved, however I still consistently shoot right of poa, even with the sight adjust almost fully left. Per my research I feel it may be a bit of trigger control and possibly anticipating recoil thats causing my to shoot right, elevation is good but off center a bit. Still love the rifle, easy to clean, fun to shoot, love the lever action.
The AR however I don't "fully get". The prism scope I have on it is much easier to dial in, tho due to ammo availability I can't pile up 1 or 2 brands/loads and really get a solid feel. Its eaten and extracted everything I've thrown at it including some Russian steel case, so thats a plus. It's fairly comfortable in my hands, tho I feel with a few tweaks it could be more comfortable (debating a free float 15" handgaurd to give may improve ergonomics for myself). Not difficult to service/clean but definitely "more complex" compared to the Henry. Its a fun rifle to shoot but I'm not fully in love with it, and am debating selling it and putting the funds toward another lever action or towards a future handgun fund. That or I just got to shoot it more.
Anyone else get a rifle/handgun they thought they'd love only to feel kinda meh about?
