Maybe they figured you would bore sight it yourself? If you didn't ask to have it bore sighted, I would assume you didn't want or need it done.

I was going to buy a rifle from them.  I called and got the price, $529Then I found the same rifle local with a better price, $489.  I found out that the place I bought the rifle from buys their rifles/handguns from Kesselrings.  Made me think of how much mark up they actually charge at Kessellrings.  I wont go their if they mark up that much.  I know the dealer I bought it from made a few bucks on me.

I have shopped at kesselrings multiple times and will continue to shop there. If you reload shotgun shells, I have found that their powder prices, primer prices and wad prices were cheaper than sportsmans this summer.

I like their selection as well. Im a left handed shooter and they have a good selection of left handed rifles and shotguns, and pretty sure they would be willing to order if it wasnt in stock. The left handed selection doesnt apply to a whole lot of people, but the fact that they have a few is reassuring, ive never seen one at a Sportsmans or Joes.

I will keep doing business there. Buy local they say  :twocents:

I like most have had a few bad experiences, mainly due to the sheer volume of human traffic on Saturdays. I expect it, but that doesn't necessarily make it right

Bring on more staff on weekends & fall. Most working stiffs only have Saturdays to run to Kesslerings.

a few had touched on maybe a few heads need to roll in order to improve customer service. 

Note:  I will say that the last time in their shop I was treated by a very knowledgable staff member, and he was quick to point that out, to the point of being condescending. And I wasn't even asking any questions. It pissed me off, and I told him flat out what I thought. He immediately apologized and the issue was done. He recommended a purchase and I bought.  NEVER judge a book by it's cover. 

The term 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound box comes to mind too. Still if they were to expand with a big shiny storefront, something would be lost.

I generally buy from Dave's in Lynden, as he's local . Actually, I think I paid his utility bill last year   :bdid:
