Default One Last Cast !!!!!

Couldn't find your E-mail address, but FYI...I bought a stainless/synthetic Weatherby .300 Mag today for 50% off their last marked sale price. They will not give you straight info. over the phone for some reason. I was lied to by 2 different stores. Said they had no rifles. I drove in to find they had nearly a dozen to choose from.The sale is not marked or advertised, you have to ask the clerk to point out the sale items to you...kinda weird.Act like they don't want to sell them. As of this evening, Hayden Island had a 7mm Rem and .340 Weatherby in SS/Syn and about 3 others in syn/blued. Gresham had a syn/blued in 30-06 and refused to offer 3 other fluted/SS. I did not drive to any other stores, but I guessing they have more in stock than they're telling over the phone. Might be worth a trip into Portland..kinda a crap shoot, though. I saved over $600 !!!

Hey Hogtide,

Thanks for the info, thanks very much. It wasn't hard to convince the wife that we have to go to the valley tomorrow night. (she's thinking costco and I'm thinking late Christmas)...did you try the Hillsboro store?

Thanks again

Update. My buddy just came back from the HAYDEN ISLAND STORE . All 8 rifles were sold out! He found a .300 Weatherby at the 82nd store and bought it. One 0- 6 left there. Hilsboro says they have none over the phone, but it still might be worth the trip. I'd grab the yellow pages and cruise store to store with a big cup of coffee!

Hey OLC maybe if you luck out you and Hogtide could help some of those folks out who got talking fish for Christmas...those rifles do need to be sighted in as you well know!! I couldn't think of a more appropriate target.
