I wish I'd never BOUGHT that

Worst purchase a Manlicher rifle. Utter litter.

Beretta Silver pigeon. Had so many problems with the selector switch on the safety catch changing position each time I opened the action. Sometimes it would change over from bottom to top barrel. Other times it would go to mid position and jam up the whole action. Must be a common issue as trap versions have a grub screw to lock selector switch in one position. Wont buy another Beretta as long as I live!

Had mine a fair few years and never suffered similar after putting through a few thousand carts. Probably one of the best shotguns I've owned in fact! (That and an AYA #4)

My worst buy was a neglected Yamaha Big Bear quad off EBay on a Friday night after a few too many beverages. Had to travel from Somerset to Stirling (!) to pick it up too. It was a wreck! Lesson learned; beer and EBay is not a marriage made in heaven lol

Sold my house years ago and emmigrated to USA

Was convinced by some spiv to buy e type jags 'cheap' in USA to b exported for the EU market

Purchases coincided with crash of 90's

Started with £130,000 and finished up several years later with £28,000

Lesson learned - greed and stupidity are a poor mix

Without wishing to rub salt in the wounds, if only you still had those e-Types now!

Great answer

An inflatable stalking cushion. The valve was pants and the whole thing worked as a woopie cushion. Binned the inflation bag and replaced it with a closed cell foam and still use it today.

Sako 75 in .243.

The single most ludicrously overrated piece of equipment I have EVER owned. And I have had various kit addictions for most of my life.

Every Hardy reel I've ever owned (2 bought new, plus the 4 replacements Hardy sent to make up for their failings). So badly designed it's as if someone actually set out to make a fly reel garunteed to fail.

Knock off 'Harris Style' Bipod just to see what it was like.....junk.

 

[willyroe]

Standard swis army knife (penknife), the one we have all had! - must have 6 scattered around draws/jackets, dont think i have ever bought one, certainly never used one. Waste of stainless steel and red plastic.

Like I said - greed and stupidity

Cured of the greed but still stupid ......
