Oh my Gosh has Rugers Quality Controll gone down the tubes!!!!! Funny how nobody has jumped all over this one yet, oh wait a minute mom is the word unless it is " Remington" ![8D]

Sorry to hear about the problems Griz with the new gun, hope they get her ironed out quickly for ya. I can' t understand why a rifle never fired or just purchased can not be exchanged, it would seem to me anybody who had a similar experience or even someone buying a gift for a family member, etc would not want to be dealing at this store. I have always said I will gladly pay more to get better service, the same has happened here we have a superstore with super losers working it, they take more of my time with screw ups, not knowing what they are doing, etc it just ain' t worth it anymore. I now buy as much as I can at the smaller stores and have been orderly a lot of stuff via mail as selection is limited in the smaller places, never had a problem with returns, etc. (of course it is advisable to find out what their return policy is before placing an order) You something else I like about the small shops, they will order you in something if you ask for it...the superstore won' t because they have their inventory or prices set up based on their big bulk purchase deals..what you see is what you get and don' t ask me for anything else.[X(][:@][:@][&:]

Anyhew, good luck with your new Ruger and have fun!
