Don't hesitate to take your parents with you in order to apply the necessarypressure (either on the phone or in person) in order to get them to fix their defective product.

7mmRemMag would be my choice if I were in your shoes, I used to live in the wide open spaces with deer being the biggest game available (like yourself). The 7mmRemMag is a flat shooter like the 270 (in spades) plus it can push the larger bullets (like175 gr.) plenty wellif you want to go for bigger game than deer; otherwise a 30-06. Then when you get your varmit rifle you'll have the low and middle ranges covered leaving you only with something in the range ofa 338WinMag or 375H&H for your last rifle on the high endto have all ocassions w-e-l-l covered.
