Well, it looks like Buds fell through on me.
I just got an email from them today saying that due to an inventory problem, they double sold my gun, and I was the second buyer. Now, of course it is back-ordered, and they don't know when they'll get more in, because the powers that be over at Remington won't tell them.
I'm debating whether it is worth the hassle to deal with them. I was going to pick it up driving through there on the way to Georgia. So now, they've cashed my check, sold and delivered the gun to someone else too, don't know if they'll have it on the day I'll be in the neighborhood, etc.
I'm going to stew on it for a couple days. I'm pretty hot under the collar right now. I think I'll see how much they're going for locally and decide if it is worth the hassle.
