Sell it and buy a nicer bolt gun?

I wish I could, but I'm talking about at least $20k wholesale in rifles for the shop I work at. They sent a rep out, and all he could offer was a fart in a stiff wind. The owner was mad as fuck all about it.

I think Remington just lost a loyal customer (me).


I was about to pull the trigger on a Remy 700 in .270 Winchester for my oldest son, but now I think I'll look elsewhere.

Meh. I'll still buy them but I don't keep them factory so it's not a worry for me.
