Notes from the gun shop...

Wow, we were busy today. Not as busy as on Saturday, but busy. Had a lot of people through the store on the second day of regular rifle season. Had 5 or 6 of the Remington 770 rifles come in with some sort of problem. With other guns malfunctions are often a matter of operator headspace, i.e. it is the shooter's fault, but not with the 770. One gun, also a 770, had a cheap scope they had managed to mess up through misoperation. They didn't want to spend the $40.00 replacement scope offered. We've also noted that a great number of screws are either ignored until they vibrate out and are lost OR are tightened until something breaks. Of course none of these faults is noticed until the shooter tries to actually use the firearm.

We also had a couple, just a couple, of people looking for guns or ammunition due to the election. This run on ammo, primers, etc, is a non-issue around here but apparently is a big thing elsewhere. One lady said that was because we already have ours...

No reports in the shop of big bucks however the boss man had killed a deer injured so many times previously, with so much scar tissue, that the meat processor to whom he takes his venison didn't want to waste effort to process it.
