Curious what y'all would suggest for a cheap bolt. 22. Caught between a norinco or a used coey model 60. Open to other suggestions too https://www.gotenda.com/product/norinco-jw-15a-22-lr-bolt-action-rifle-wood-w-ammo-combo/

I got a norinco a few weeks ago. It wouldn't shoot, it wasn't striking hard enough. Tried multiple different ammo.

I took it back (gun store employee was pissy I brought it in instead of emailing, but fuck that, I'm not waiting around to get dicked around for weeks or months for a 200 dollar rifle.)

I brought it in with a cable lock, mag and bolt removed. I told them it wasn't firing, told them it was the bolt. He didn't want to check it and ended up giving me a new one, which shoots fine.

Threw a cheap amazon sight on it and it is fine. Shoots straight.

Oof sounds like it's a bit of a headache. Glad the new one is working now though

Theyre cheap for a reason, I just got a bad one off the hop, the guy i dealt with made it seem like he was doing me a favor by giving me a working gun in exchange for a faulty one.
