If you want honest opinions and to gain the respect of customers let the business come to you. It will, SKS's seem to sell themselves nowadays. Here is my honest opinion of your site and dealing with Westrifle. I love the fact that you guys take 5 or 6 photos of each rifle allowing the buyer to see what he/she is getting. To me I would pay an extra $100 to get that piece of mind any day of the week! It pretty much allows me to be at your store and handpick my rifle which is awesome.
I asked you for an all matching laminate stock SKS that was in the best condition possible, you gave me a unit # and I was able to see 4 or 5 pictures of that very rifle on your site! As far as price I felt I got a fair deal, about $50 more than what other companies were charging, but again I got to choose my rifle.
Now, I wrote on a form I had to fill out in the comment section, and I also wrote in an e-mail that I wished to have the rifle shipped wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap. I live in Ontario and the rifle was coming from BC, a long way to travel and alot can happen on its voyage. When I got the rifle guess what... NO bubble wrap or any protective wrapping what so ever, the ammo pouch, sling and oil pouch were just floating in the box with the rifle. Now anyone who knows SKS's sees that the ammo pouch and sling have some big and sharp pieces of metal that can dent/scratch a wood stock or blueing. I expressed my discontent with the packaging job to the owner of westrifle and he was very appologetic and offered to refund my money. When it comes down to it I was still very pleased with the condition of the rifle, and I felt that I wouldn't get another SKS in the same shape unless I hand picked it myself, so I kept it. Maybe im just picky, and I do understand that it would be a huge expense for bubble wrap for hundreds of rifles. Here is a tip wrap up the ammo pouch, oil pouch and sling in newspaper to prevent it floating around and denting the gun.
I am trying to give my god honest opinion of westrifle and overall they were very truthfull, fast to respond and shipping was quick. The product was as stated and I do not regret buying an SKS from them at all. Westrifle has some nice SKS's for sale and people will buy them, we just dont like getting them rammed down our throats. I would deal with them again, buy with confidence. Cheers
