OP, I wasn't going to say anything BUT now I know who you're yakking about.
I'm sorry but as someone who has bought from buffdog, shot with him, slurped back coffee and hung around with him for years. I'm going to say this:
There's no effing way that Buffdog would ruin his reputation for $275. No effing way he'd work you over, lie, cheat or steal from you!!
He ain't that kinda guy and I'll stake my reputation on it.
He's one of the finest people I've ever known PERIOD.
Maybe next time give the guy a chance to make it right instead of spewing nonsense!
Jeez, what happened to this forum??
That's good. I'm sure he's a great guy in your experience, but unlike yourself I dont know him. I never said he stole from me. That would be a little much in my opinion. I'm actually very glad to hear some members say that the price was fair despite the bulge. Others consider it a parts rifle. I posted on here not knowing if I had extremely overpaid or if I came out of it OK. Again, I do not proclaim myself to be an expert, and was hoping some people would chime in that knew more than me about bulges and counterbored rifles. People asked me if I knew about the bulge before buying and I said I didn't. The guy sold me a rifle and didn't mention a bulged barrel. It still shoots well. He didn't break in my house and beat my dog. Let's not get too dramatic.
