Congrats! 25-06 is a heck of a round for medium sized game. I would tell the Mule foundation about how he treated you though. Perhaps they will use a different dealer next time. He should have given you the full credit they paid on anything in the store at regular (not list) price.

clearanceman, I should have said store prices although they are darn close to list.

I would still complain. They might want to use a more friendly gun dealer next time they have a contest.

Thats to bad i have a model 70 270 wsm, havent had a chance to shoot it yet but its a beutiful rifle. at least u got a new gun, the 25-06 should be good for varmints and deer.
