[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 162525, member: 704"] I suppose I have told this story before. I have bought a few guns from Scheels, but I had fun with a salesman in Fargo Scheels many years ago when the 300WSM just came out. I went in and asked for one. The salesman asked "what do you want it for". Those of us who frequent sporting goods stores know this means they don't have one. I said deer hunting. He says "you don't need a 300WSM for deer, this is about the best deer rifle you can get". It was a Winchester model 70 in 270 Winchester. I said "yes that's a very nice rifle and I like the caliber too". He says "should we write it up". I said "nope, got one just like it". He said "then why would you want a 300WSM". I said "I might want to use it for elk". He said "elk, then you want this rifle right here". It was a nice Remington 700 Sendero in 300 Win Mag. I said "now your talking that's a perfect elk and deer rifle". He got a big smile and said "should we write her up". I said "nope got one exactly like it". He got this big scowl and said then what the H do you want a 300WSM for". I said "I just want one do I really need a reason". He walked off and wouldn't talk to me anymore. Actually with the heavy Sendero I was looking for a short action walking rifle with the same capabilities. I bought a Browning A bolt in 300WSM from them a short time later. [/QUOTE]
