The new gun did indeed have a nicer stock (in my eye), BUT there was a deep dent in the butt about 10mm long and well deep enough to get most of you thumb nail in
So it was a total NO SALE from me
The shop said the dent was caused by their padlocks and it could be filled and sanded out.
I understand some people (hunters maybe?) would not be bothered by a dent, and maybe offers a discount opportunity? But surely mishandling their stock like this devalues the stock and reduces to chance of a sale? They'd have sold a gun today if it wasn't for the nasty dent!
I'm gutted, as
I'm a cabinet maker and wood grain means a lot to me, so not to have this opportunity of getting nicer stock because they can't store their goods properly is disappointing at best
Rant over (for now)
