Ah yes, the stock B&B answer- spend more money Bunch of enablers, all of youse.The most logical response is to buy a 30 Super Carry chambered firearm.

I mistakenly bought a bunch of .22 Shorts a while back. Only firearm I had was a Rem 597, will not shoot the shorts. I didn’t even consider returning them because for 1) I knew I couldn’t and 2) I’ve always wanted a Henry Repeating Rifle. So I kept them. Ammo doesn’t expire. I now have a Henry Golden Boy and a bunch of ammo.
I'm too lazy for emojis.Sorry, my response seemed a lot harsher than was intended. I was jokingly calling myself a jerk- sorry for the confusion. Should have put an emoji in.
Yeah, I hear you and sympathize. I've got an English Mastiff and their bite force is 556 PSI, that's twice the bite force of a Pit Bull, and only less than 5 other breeds on the planet. She goes through "chew proof" toys in a matter of hours.I once bought a chew toy for our dog from a national chain pet store. It was labeled as being for super chewers. Within a hour he was pulling chunks off of it. I did know that they had a policy of not taking returns on chew toys. I tried to return it based on what I would call false advertising, but they wouldn't take it back. I have never bought anything else from them again.

THAT makes me a jerk.
And did you get a half bottle of Lilac Vegetal for your birthday like Navin?I constantly use emoji’s here. But don’t let that fool ya, I’m an assh, uhm, I mean jerk.
I’m picking out a thermos for you.And did you get a half bottle of Lilac Vegetal for your birthday like Navin?
Well, I still want to meet you.I constantly use emoji’s here. But don’t let that fool ya, I’m an assh, uhm, I mean jerk.
Ha! Haven’t we all! Both rhetorically referred to ourselves in a less-than-flattering light and bought something by mistake we couldn’t return. And I’m confident we here all hate making mistakes which cost us money.Sorry, my response seemed a lot harsher than was intended. I was jokingly calling myself a jerk- sorry for the confusion.

I’m going to be on the lookout for a used Ruger Mark II or III. The differences between the 2 and 3 don’t bother me (it’ll be a range gun). Mark IVs will likely demand more cash than I want to spend.P.S. New guns are cool.
Either (or Both?) are excellent choices! Might try one of each. Good luck in your search. You can never own too many guns, just not enough safes.I’m going to be on the lookout for a used Ruger Mark II or III. The differences between the 2 and 3 don’t bother me (it’ll be a range gun).

as someone who spent well over 20 years in customer service, Quality Customer Service does NOT include violating corporate policy to make a customer happy. the old fallacy "the customer is always right" is a fraking myth. the quality customer service is tell ing the customer they are out of their mind, and it ain't gonna happen without them losing their sh*t. I saw a post recently about a guy who ordered chipoltle online. at the wrong store. he got it resolved and got a couple free meals out of that.Quality customer service does indeed seem to be a thing of the past, and I certainly appreciate it when Encountered.
But as the fellows say above, this is strictly a liability issue.
I bought two rifles from the old Gander Mountain, but it was in the days when long gun racks were customer accessible and you could pick up and handle the guns. One was a big CZ 550 Safari American in .375 H&H, and the other was out on the floor in one one of those little revolving racks I thought was for used guns but this one was a new little Marlin 1894CL in 32-20. A year or so after my last purchase they put counters in front of the wall racks and locked everything up so no handling. Can't really say that I blame them, I cannot imagine having to wipe down all those guns daily for all the handling they received.If you had purchased the ammo at a locally owned gun shop, they might have been more open to exchanging the ammo. Large chains with multiple stores have to have strict policies that are consistent from one store to the next.
We used to have a Gander Mountain store about a mile and a half from my house. I had made many purchases there. I went in one day to purchase a shotgun. They had trigger locks on all the firearms. I requested that the lock be removed so I could evaluate the trigger pull on the gun. The store manager refused, so I went to a small gun shop that handed me an unloaded gun and allowed me to inspect it thoroughly. I made the purchase. I would have taken it home with me, but I live in Illinois and had to come back 24 hours later to pick it up. We also have the infamous FOID cards here (Firearm Owners ID).
I wrote a scathing review of the Gander Mountain store and never visited there again. A few months later, the entire Gander Mountain chain filed for bankruptcy. I doubt my review had anything to do with it, but I suspect store policies had a lot to do with their deteriorating business.
