Next I phone back to the distribution center with the news and Visa card and PAL in my sweaty little hand. First they have nothing like that, and I tell them they do have one and that the saleman had held it in his hand as recently as a minute ago. I give the article number and she tells me they don't have any but have 60 on order. Yes, but I don't want 60 you see, just the one in Winnipeg. Could you send me that one and we will part as adversaries and not enemies? No, it doesn't work like that. Winnipeg can't ship it, and distributing can't ship it because its in Winnipeg, and Winnipeg can't ship it to distributing, and neither can ship it to the Saskatoon store because they don't do that either. I do ask if this was Cabellas, the same Cabellas that for decades has been shipping things, had a catalogue and website to order things? Yep, same place. Beginning to feel like I'm caught in some comedy skit, I thought that I'd take the bait and ask what she suggested I do. Believe it or not, she claims that there is no way that I can get that particular rifle short of driveing to Winnipeg and physically walking into that store. Or I can order one that they don't have, and wait for it not to come, for a time period that can't be predicted. Apparently that makes sense in her world.

Right now I'm torn between considering it a challenge and not wanting to own a rifle that that many stupid people have stood beside.

Anyone have any ideas?

I can't offer much in terms of bright ideas, but I can offer up a small confession: that tale of woe brought a smile to my face as I thought of what the look must have been on yours. I never would have imagined you being in a Monty Python skit, but it somehow seems such a non-sequitor that it somehow works! :p
 
What's the latest installment in this dog-and-pony show? My neighbour was in Winnipeg yesterday and he tells me that they still have two beautiful wood-stocked Vanguards behind the counter, one laser and one standard checkering. He didn't ask about the chambering, but apparently the price is now either $949 or $999. I guess they have decided to charge a bit extra for that fantastic customer service.

Did you get yours, Dogleg?
 
Lol, I have had the exact same runaround with the retail and distribution locations in Winnipeg, as frustrating as it is, it makes you laugh at the utter ridiculousness of it all.

If I had seen this sooner I would have helped as well, good thing I read the whole thread as I was about to offer to buy it and ship it to you. Lol

les photos ne rendent pas justice

I prefer to judge these things by how many benches down they can pull shooters for a look. The .257 will drag guys from 6 benches down on a cloudy day. The .300 is nicer.
