[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1493076, member: 94491"] he did call browning to confirm what the specs on the rifle were--problem I see is he just gave them the model number and upc--not the serial number--Browning told him that he had a 1:8 twist rifle in his hands (I did confirm that in writing before I ordered it)--I just wish browning had told him to go look on the barrel as the new fast twist rate barrels are marked right next to the engraved cartridge-- we would not have had this issue if they had told him to do that or if they had asked him for the actual serial number, or if I had known the barrels were marked that way. anyway, I can tell that you would just want your full refund (which was one of the options he offered) If you wanted the faster twist for the same price you would need to buy it somewhere else and have either yourself or the seller put their hands on the rifle to see if it had the fast twist on the barrel and find one for that low of a price (which I don't think you will find one with that twist rate for that price--I could be wrong though)--I have now personally called over 20 stores (local and online retailers)--of the 23 I have called now, only 1 actually had the fast twist rate but the rifle is over $900 out the door -- of the online retailers only about 1/3 are either willing to check or actually have the rifle there to check to see what it says on the barrel--the other 2/3 either do not actually stock the rifle and would just pull it from some other warehouse (so no way to know what it really is), or would not take the time to go check it if it was in stock. you know what they say though-- you can make all the people happy some of the time, you can make some of the people happy all of the time, but you can't make all of the people happy all of the time.:) [/QUOTE]
