team tractor Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 But if you'd drove to Melbourne gun and tackle you'd find that they have just had a batch in and it's only another 10 miles Livens suck Nathan ,ive been for specific brands for my .243 and got told tough titty we,ve sold it ,they dont give a monkeys as long as they sell it I've used livens for 20 years and always find them really helpful . Just remember every company has someone working for them that couldn't give a rats ****. Granted shops change :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Right then,,,, UD You a rang up and asked if they have some wmr ammo, they say yes.. now did you say "right that's brilliant I will pop over in the morning and pick 500 up, would you like to put my name on them, can I leave you a deposit? " They may have just taken your call as just a general enquiry otherwise. Clakk likewise as above. I could ring up every gun shop in the uk and enquire about the price of a grade 9 Blaser professional. Do you think they would all wrapped it up for me. Come on don't be silly. UD you could have popped in for a cupa I'm only 5 minute's away. No wmr ammo but we had some cake, but unfortunately I've eaten it.

I went to enquire about a rifle that I wanted after looking at them for years, it was the love of my life shooting wise. I went into the shop to ask if they had one, or if not could they get one.. You would not believe it, "Ooo you don't want one of those YOU WANT ONE OF THESE " "Why do you want one of those " " here, this is what you really want" " you don't want a Sako 75 -111 in SS and a laminate stock, Oh no " This is what you want, ( as he gets something from the gun rack, blows off the dust, crunches the bolt open) RELOADING !!!!!!!! Ooooo you don't want to do that You could not make it up. Should have had a sign outside the shop telling me not to go in.. Needles to say they didn't get my custom. which over the years has amounted to a bit of Wonga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 To be fair lads I should of put a deposit on it yes. To be honest after this illness I just wanted a ride out with family. If I was desperate for ammo I would of played it differently. Actually I am now more upset for missing out on free cake :-( Your a good lot, take care n' then.
