I took a buddy to Dick's sporting goods yesterday to get out house from kids and wife getting ready for New Years Party and it was last day of $100 rebate. No one else in area cabelas included has a axis left cause of Christmas and rebate. Dick's has the gun with cheap throwaway scope for $100 more than everyone else with no scope and no gun for $349.99. We look at .243 youth with our boys and it is really dusty cause we are not a necked rifle cartridge deer hunting state. (.45/70 and .40 cal pistol cartridge legal but my 30 06 is dangerous)
Axis bolt was smooth and from what I have read here and other sights a sub 1" gun at a bargain price. At $179.99 I can see why. Buddy purchases gun after make point that we have 8 kids between us that could shoot the gun. He walks through front door with gun and wife is fine with purchase cause it is for kids.
He cleans it and barrel is rusty outside and inside is dirty like the new gun is not new. The bolt head has powder ring after cleaning.
Does anyone know if Savage fires gun before shipping? Really disappointed cause I feel we didn't get new gun and don't know what to do.
