Gunbroker

A buddy of mine bought a Remington 700 XCR (or so he thought) on gunbroker. When he got the rifle, he found that it was actually an SPS that was put into an XCR stock. I saw the pictures and it looks like an XCR in the photos. Is this a common occurance on Gunbroker? I thought about bidding on some stuff, but I'm very hesitant after that. Anybody have any experience with it?

I've purchased at least 10 times through gunbroker and haven't had any issues. However, I do stay away from sellers with little or no feedback. I will also ask for additonal photos of specific markings if they aren't already shown. If I get no reply to my questions or requests for additional photo's - I don't bid.

As for the SPS, it could be the seller didn't realize the mistake and might be willing to take back the rifle or give a partial refund for the trouble.

I just picked up a brand new SX3 on gunbroker and it was a great deal. I did contact the seller a couple of times before bidding to make sure all the details were correct. I agree, contact the seller and explain your dilemma. Normally, from what I've heard, they will try their hardest to make things right.
