8mm/06 What the distributor lists in his catalog and what he has available are not always the same . Some guns are almost impossible to get for some dealers . The dealers that have a large turnover in guns stands a much better chance of getting one than a small dealer .I recently was looking for a rifle and had to call four dealers to find one that could get what I wanted . they could all get the rifle but not setup the way I requested it to be .A couple of other guns I want nobody has in stock at this time . But they are in the catalog . Also Jerry's sporting goods didn't have the rifle either .I'm like you a has been dealer I sent my lic. back
