[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1492676, member: 94491"] I just ordered what I thought was an x-bolt stalker long range in 7 rem mag with the 1:8 twist barrel for what I thought was a great price BUT a problem popped up, browning used the exact same manufactures part number and UPC number for the new 1:8 twist barrels as last years 1:9.5 twist barrels so the rifle I got was a 1:9.5 twist that the seller actually believed was the 1:8 twist My intended purpose was a dual purpose rifle-- hunting out to 600 yards and target shooting out to 1000 yards--I was amped on getting to try the new heavy weight .284 bullets but not sure If I would actually use them for hunting or just for target here is my question I have to answer for my self--but what would you do?? the seller is offering me 3 choices #1--to refund me 100% of what I paid ($630) for the rifle and send me a pre-paid return label to return the rifle--I would be out $30 for FFL transfer and colorado CBI fees #2, the seller told me he would be loosing about $100 in shipping fees and profit if I return the rifle for a full refund so he offered for me to keep the 1:9.5 twist rife and to give me $100 back on my credit card (lowering the cost down to $530) and I would not loose the $30 FFL/CBI fees I have paid as I would keep the rifle #3 the seller offered to send me a pre-paid return label to return the rifle with the wrong twist rate and then I could pay him an additional $145 (effectively making the 1:8 twist rifle a total of $775, but I would loose the $30 FFL/CBI fees I have paid) to special order/back order the correct 1:8 twist rifle from Browning BUT he said that Browning would not give him a tentative production/ship date for the back order rifle also if I keep the current rifle I can file for the $50 rebate from browning bringing the total out of pocket down to $480 for the x-bolt stalker long range 1:9.5 rifle even though I was stoked to play with heavies in this rifle (and be one of the first production rifles with a 1:8 twist 7 rem mag) -- I'm leaning towards taking the cash back and the rebate from browning as it would be $325 more to get the faster twist rate barreled rifle and I'm not sure it will make that much difference at the distances I'm wanting to shoot what think you? what would you do?? by the way, the seller has been more than apologetic and more than gracious to go out of his way to try to fix the problem at hand including taking back and refunding the full cost on an internet rifle sale-- he has definitely won future business from me and I am glad I chose him to purchase this rifle from as it could have been a huge fiasco where I had to fight tooth and nail to try to get the issue resolved ---kudos to him [/QUOTE]
