selling/passing on rubbish, sub obtimal performing guns

[angrybear]

wanted to post this in the sales section, but changed my mind.

Just wondering how some can do that to other unsuspected or inexperienced new buyers.

or other way round, who would sell a straight shooter, perfectly functioning gun



any inputs welcome.

Well first off posting this in sales would be breaking the rules as it's not a sale

Who says what is optimal or sub optimal ? some people strip & tune their rifles some don't they use them straight from the box & when sold they are still as they were made.

Deliberately selling a faulty or broken rifle as being in full working order is a different matter that's plain deceitful.

Plenty of people sell perfect rifles so they can buy something else .

I've bought and sold plenty on this forum.
No one wants porkies, so just tell it how it is. One man's perfect tune is another man's ox spring nightmare. Buying anything unseen always carries some risk. Ask the questions, see quality pictures, pay the right value. If you don't like then pay to send it back, both sides are out of pocket. Live with the decision.

Its rare for things to go wrong, but not impossible. Many a rifle sold for shooting poorly just needed a bit of TLC and some screws tightening; others were never going to be tac drivers whatever you did with them. Its a hobby, you get good ones and bad ones; know your stuff.

Mint rifles can't be tested.

Be honest, then its easy.
