The answer on THF is always: 6.5 Creedmoor.

On a serious note, I always try to give business to the local shops. My dad had put a deposit on a safe yearssssss ago and the LGS called us and asked if they could sell it because they had a customer that wanted it right then and there. We said no problem and had them order us a new one, but somewhere along that timeline someone broke into our business and stole most of the guns we had so we never went back to pay it off and eventually just forgot about it. 16 years later, I was looking for a rifle and half jokingly mentioned it to the owner that we had at one point had a $1200 or so deposit down on a safe and if it would still be good. He said if I could find the receipt, he would make it good. Dad went and dug it up in his files and sure enough the owner honored it 16 years later. I will probably never buy a gun anywhere else, regardless of it being maybe a couple of hundred dollars higher with him, a man that can keep his word on something like that after so many years deserves my business.

Prior to this, I had gone to academy with my dad to buy a rifle he wanted for his birthday and he had forgot his reading glasses. I was telling him what the form said on one of the portions and the guy at the counter started scolding me and told me he should rip the form up and report us for illegally purchasing firearms because I was helping my dad fill out the form. I ripped the form up for him and told him he could keep his gun, then informed the managers why I was not going to be spending money at their store that day and went and bought it somewhere else.

I guess you can't really expect much for what they're paid, if it was higher they might be able to get a little picky with the selection process. Thing that gets me is that these are the same people trying to vote for someone that'll give them $15/hr or whatever the hell amount it was.

Wait, the gun store employees broke into your business and stole all of your guns, and you still patronize that business?

LOL...that is what it says

If that is what you think I meant, sure.

If I go into a store to look at the product, ask questions, ask for opinions, etc, then I will buy the item there unless it's WAY higher than somewhere else. If I do my own research online, then I'm going for the best price. If a local place is close on price, then I'll buy there.

I've seen my LGS match Academy's price on a couple of guns. I don't particularly care for that LGS but I thought that was decent.

"We said no problem and had them order us a new one, but somewhere along that timeline they broke into our business and stole most of the guns we had so we never went back to pay it off"

That's what it says.

Pretty sure you know what I meant, as would most people. Like I said, if that's what you think then sure. Idk what to tell you, sir.

English is hard.

LOL

Entertaining thread. I usually walk by the gun counter at the San Angelo Academy and ask if they have any 6.5 creedmoor rifles just to hear their reply for entertainment. A couple guys know a little, most don't. One young kid last week pointed out the savage stealth on the shelf. Followed by "that's a really good caliber, I haven't shot it much.... actually I've never shot it." It was kind of a drawn out sentence with a pause after I haven't shot it much. At least he ended up being honest.

Now thats hard to do. Being honest after you've made an [censored] out of yourself. Kudos to him.

one of those times where you say something then instantly think oh shoot what if he starts asking me details and I can't come up with lies as fast as he is asking questions so I better come clean now. Haha

Must be if you can't understand what I'm saying.

Betcha he was shooting a 22-250.
I swear, if one of y'all gets triggered^

In your sentence, "they" would reference the same party as the previously used "them". In this case, "them" was referencing the gun shop. Had you used "somebody" instead of "they", which would have been correct, I would have understood.

I wasn't being a smartass when I originally asked the question. I was legitimately confused. Now you're just being obstinate.

I have to agree that your sentence says the gun shop employees robbed you. Lol there is no other way to read it.

I corrected it immediately after your first post pointing it out. The fact that you continued to antagonize me over it confuses me, since I had already explained the misunderstanding and fixed the sentence. I don't see how I'm being obstinate over something that I already changed? I get how it was technically an incorrect sentence if you were to break it down and scrutinize it.

English isn't my first language and I type pretty much the way I would speak it in person. As I said, most people I know would assume that "they" meant a random party and not the gun store that I was praising and giving my business to. I am sorry if it was confusing, I really don't see it, but if it is then that is just beyond my scope of the language itself and out of my control.

You were right? I don't know what to tell you other than that.

On the other hand is Academy having any good sales ?
