Any new developments? Does not sound like good service but what is the managers view.

Any new developments? Does not sound like good service but what is the managers view.

The manager said, a little rust is fine, it is free and they won't charge for it.

Here are some of the retailer's fanboys/girls:

• excellent customer service
• wonderful staff
• answered my emails, took only 5 tries
• has a phone
• fast and competent
• rapid shipping, after 3 months
• cashed my money in a reasonable time
• would deal again with, in a heart beat

That would be a hard pass for me. The part where the store wouldn’t clean that out would be the deal breaker for me. Spend your money at a store that caters to you.

Anyone care to disclose which store this is?

Any updates from OP?

I spoke to the owner or manager and got a full refund. I'm not going to call them out publicly, but I'd just say that next time I'll trust my gut feeling when I walk into a place or when I see they have no About Us on their website.

Rust is not a quality I look for in a bore, but here's a used Tikka I bought a few years ago. I got a Teslong bore camera months later, and this is what I discovered

I scrubbed and scrubbed with bronze brush and Seafoam Deep Creep. Got the orange out, but there was still pitting of the steel

last weekend, 8 shots @ 100M with handloads, 0.66MOA with a mean radius of 0.23MOA

^see the appearance doesn’t matter, how it shoots is what’s important

I’m not interested in paying new gun prices for a rusty bore, no matter how it shoots. I wouldn’t have any problem with a discounted price and full disclosure of condition though.
