Now I'm really pissed; thanks a lot for reinforcing my opinion that customer service at Cabelas is arbitrary and specious. I should have known the store was going down the rabbit hole when they demanded my ID to purchase Hornady Calipers. Next they will want to check your blood sugar to buy fudge. Bunch of jackholes. BTW the Winchester was an 1873, 32 cal. From what I could tell at the muzzle, the bore was dirty and dark; probably why it as on sale.Doc, sorry yours was disappointing.
I stopped in Thursday after a failed puppy adoption attempt at the (in)Humane Society. I didn't see any 120 y.o. Winnies.
I was hoping to find the Savage 24 there that I had considered a week ago. Nope.
What I did see was a Savage 99, ca. 1951, in 300 Savage.
Most of the ones I see are thrashed and rattle-traps. This one looked fantastic. The stock had been refinished, but I didn't care.
Took it back to the office, said I wanted to buy it and asked to inspect the bore.
They removed all the stupid locks and gave me a bore light.
Nice, tight action, clean looking chamber. Bore looked great, deep rifling, though seemed to have some leading. Mine!
All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.
Now waiting to get it out of jail, 'cuz Ima dangerous man, an all....
