It isn't just here but on many forums. Why do some brands get bashed so much? I have a $700 3 digit s/n Stag that I've had since 2003ish. That rifle ran much better than my $2000 POF P415.

I have found that most people only like XXX brand because someone else with a big name uses one or someone told them that they heard from someone else that quality control is bad.

So my question is... why is there so much bashing of the smaller upcoming brands when each of the bigger companies had to start small themselves.
