OK,

This is the gun and the dealer:

I talked with him on the phone and he went over the gun with me asking the questions. The scope was described as perfectly functional. In fact, the mounts would not hold the scope on the gun. The scope had the elevation tourette move on the shaft, the adjustment knobs were stuck. The ocular is moving. The gun had the rifle barrel relined. One of the triggers, while working, had a very hard pull and a lot of creep.
After letting him know that the gun and scope were not what he described he did not return my phone calls, neither did he answered my e-mails. I delt with his secretary in order to return the gun. He refunded the cost of the gun but not the shipping. I feel that I had to pay shipping and insurance for his misleading description, which, in my opinion should have been his expense. It is not a matter of money, but a matter of respect and honor.
I have bought guns in poor condition from other sellers, but they were described as they were and I did not feel taken advantage of.
I have found problems with guns that I bought that were not discussed before the transaction, but other dealers stood behind their word, even if I forgot to ask the right questions or they forgot to fully describe it.
The intention of the topic is to bring awareness on this dealer. It might be malitious and unfair to some, but this is my side of the story. You make whatever you want out of it.
