I did not much care for the inital email which started this thing, but I am left equally uncomfortable with Mr. Legg's srict constructionist interpretation of his own return policy. I think he is technically correct in this dispute. And I would never order a gun from him.

I remember a drilling which I purchased from Thad Scott years ago. Gun looked as described and I was delighted to keep it. Nearly a month later, I finally made it to the range and fired it. I discovered a previous owner had bored out the chamber from the original 7x57R. Thad took it back no questions asked, and I have purchased two or three other doubles from him in the ensuing years and recomended him to numerous friends. Did he have to take it back? No, I suppose not. But he is a gentleman, and fully understands that in our small world of side x sides a reputation is everything.

Jim, I don't know how much business you generate off this forum, but even among those of us who believe you are technically correct in this instance, I wonder how many will now have second thoughts before placing their next order.
