T bolt hunter

Thanks for the replies guys, some good points made! youve all said what i was thinking and i just need to count this a lucky escape, and learn from the mistake! im just as much to blame as shop and im greatfull they have taken responsibility and replaced my rifle! As for the £50 i think im going to invest it in leaning about diffrent rifle calibers as i obviously have a lot more to learn. And if theres any change a new pair of pants! Look forward to using to using forum more in the future as i continue to learn more about my rifle and the shooting world! ATB

There replacing the rifle aswell, i dont have my licence to check as i had to send it off for a variation now im getting a new rifle but I've checked the receipt and it dose list them on there.

Hi all, This is my first post and im a new fac holder (only had it a week)! So as soon as i got my ticket i brought a new .17hmr that day with a mix of amunition to see what it grouped best with, i bought these at the same time as the rifle and asked for a mix of hmr rounds. Little did i know at the time there was a box of HM2 included as well! These happend to be the first ones i shot and although i thought they were shorter than the others they fitted the magazine and loaded ok, i just assumed they where a variation of the hmr and i didnt know otherwise at the time! The first 7 shot fine as i was zeroing my scope but the 8th blew up in the barrel destroying the gun and my pants!! I went stright back to the shop i brought it all from and explaned what happend, they took the gun and all the rounds of hm2 i had left including an unopend box and told me it was a dodgy round that had caused it and they would order me a replacment rife free of charge! Great stuff! The next day i had a call from the shop manager saying they where going to offer me £50 as a good will gesture for the inconvenience which I thought was a nice touch as it was not there fault! But now ive found out that i shouldn't of brought the rounds in the first place let alone tried to fire them in my rifle i feel they have been trying to sweep it all under the carpet as someone could be in big troble and the offer of £50 is slightly insulting. I wasnt injured (apart from my pants) but from what ive read the potential was highly likely! Ive spoke to the shop 3 times since i returned the rifle and not once have the said to me it was the incorrect ammo just that one round must of been faulty! Question is, what to i do next? Thank my lucky stars im ok and move on? Speak to my feo? Has this happend to anyone before? What do you guys think?? *im not going to disclose the name of the shop i brought from as i understand there could be serious consequences for them, im only here seeking advice.
