Was bored last night so i took a quick trip ro the Sportsman Warehouse in Thorton. Wasnt expecting to walk out of there with something but just wanted to look around.
So why is it every time i go there people open up the hunting ammo boxes and look at the rounds?
Out of all of the THOUSANDS of rounds I have bought over the years at Wal-MArt and Sportsman I have never had a box that had the wrong rounds in it.
Thanks
1.5/10. Sorry. Piss poor effort.
Changed headline how about that?
Really wasnt looking to get my rant rated
rant(rhttp://img.tfd.com/hm/GIF/abreve.gifnt)v. rant·ed, rant·ing, rants
v.intr.To speak or write in an angry or violent manner; rave.
v.tr.To utter or express with violence or extravagance
n.1. Violent or extravagant speech or writing.
2. A speech or piece of writing that incites anger or violence
Maybe we can get the thread title changed to something like "Soft spoken observations pertaining to the uncouth behaviors of Sportman's Warehouse patrons"
I don't want to be the guy that gets out to the range and opens up a box of 9mm to find out its .380, so yep I open up every box before I buy it locally, and I also open up every box after ups drops it off as well, I had a box of 10mm once and something must of fallen on it or it was a factory slip up and the bullet was pushed way into the brass on all 5 rounds on the end, and the box was undamaged, if fired it could have led to a serious over pressure situation, so yes Ill keep opening them and looking.
Damaged rounds, not wrong rounds?
If you post a rant, it will get rated. We're just poking a little fun.Quote:

Lack of swearing. No all caps. No exclamation points. No philosophical opinion on how it could have gone right. 1/10
I think a lot of people are curious to see what premium hunting ammo looks like. When paying up to $3.50/rd I want to see what I'm buying. Plinking 9mm? No.
Truly terrible rant. Study Jim's rants, then try again!
I oppen to make sure ones not missing. Also I have gotten this in a wwb from Walmart.

They actually had rounds to look at? [Wow2]
Isn't there a zero returns policy on ammo?
yep, thats why its worth checkingQuote:

This, and if buying the buffalo bore ammo I like to know what bullet they happen to be using.Quote:

I get a permission to open the box, before I buy em.
Your question really seems to be about the people at SW, not SW itself. Therefore...Quote:

Next.
Getting permission FIRST is the secret. The few times that I have sold new/unopened ammo on my occasional tables, I post a sign "DO NOT OPEN ANY BOXES OF MY AMMO - IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE CONTENTS, LET ME KNOW AND I''LL GLADLY OPEN THE BOX AND LET YOU LOOK ALL YOU LIKE", I got so damn tired of people ripping/tearing the boxes open only to put them down and just walk away. I open them with CARE. Is this a "rant" - I guess so! [blaster]Quote:

I went to customer service where the manager refunded my purchase since I hadn't left the store. It seems an employee was making the switch and later buying his 22-250 at 223 discount prices.Quote:

When I told SW what had happened they said there was nothing they could do. I understand why they can't take ammo back. From then on I took the box to the register and asked if could inspect the rounds.

Fucking Weak RANT. Mix it up toss in some profanity single out 1 if not 2 of the gun counter employees , description of tactical gear they are wearing etc.
NOW get in your vehicle drive to wal mart then come back and try posting again[facepalm]
Hahahahaha, im lafing a lot with this thread, I do it every single time that I bought any kind of ammo, and you know what? I have no idea why hahaha
Maybe because is not the same read the specifications of the ammo in the box than looking the bullet :-)
They had several cases of .308 when i was in there a couple weeks back... was very surprised, havent seen any since
