Looking to buy my first bolt action .223 and these prices seem really appealing. I’m just not sure I trust it. Anyone have any input or experience?

Looks like they have everything in stock and they accept Zelle and Crypto as payment options.

No shit. Every fucking week someone comes on with some ass hat website that has everything that is unobtainium at other legit sites, never bother to look at the site in detail (like the the bullshit Finland address that they didn't bother to look up), don't bother to look at payment methods which are a dead give away (like Zelle and crypto only...WTF, really?) or bother with a simple google search like this:


I think in the future if the poster isn't willing to do even the least amount of work to verify the site, they ought to be allowed to learn a lesson.

Every fucking week...if not every day.

Thanks for the non hostile reply, I appreciate it. I wanted the ctr, I settled for the varmint from buds gunshop. Europtic was out of stock😒
Hostile. Look, brother….it’s not like you got jumped for some little minor point. The fact is you did absolutely nothing to validate that site and just ran here to have someone else do it for you.

You didn’t even look the site over, much less any other source, or you would have seen obvious red flags.

If I pissed you off, good. Then maybe next time you’ll get off your ass and do a bit of research yourself before asking others to provide info for you.
 
I apologize to anyone that I inconvenienced with my post on this message board. I hope that everyone that was affected can make a full recovery.

Settle in man. This place can be a tad rough at times. But it’s far worth staying around. If you venture into the bear pit, make sure you have hella thick skin.

Don't worry about it, just a bunch of cowards acting tough behind their keyboards .
I`ve often wondered if some on here are as tough in person as they are as anonymous cyber bullies. Just ignore them. They probably need this site as an outlet for release due to excessive hen pecking by their wives. If you put on blinders to them, this is a good site with often useful, and civil, input.

These things are a scam. They`re apparently popping up for all the major firearms manufacturers. " If it`s too good to be true..."

I think you will that that when most are presented with a dumb ass question that they will let you know it.
the poster
Hey guys, is www.imgoingtoscamyoubuttfucker.com legit?
Oh yeah!! No question of that for sure. On SH, the odds of asking a question that SOMEBODY will feel is stupid and feel compelled to take the offending poster to task, most often in an expletive laden response, is extremely high.

I understand people get alittle frustrated by certain things. I think the people who are freaking out at someone asking a dumb question need to have the thick skin. I have no problem getting some constructive criticism, but if you fly off the handle about a “dumb” question on a message board should you really own a firearm. This should be the place to come for guidance and maybe some good old ribbing occasionally. Thanks to everyone for your insight.

In general, if someone is looking for " constructive criticism ", they`d best go somewhere else. Some, not all, of posters here will be tripping over themselves as to who can get in the wittiest put down the quickest. Your comment about firearms ownership is an interesting one. It`s indeed a sobering thought to think of some posters here with a loaded firearm tucked away under the front seats of their vehicles. Then again, though perhaps unintended, the founder of SH may well have provided a venue through which some posters here can vent upon others whatever frustrations, innate need to bully others, or over compensation for an inferiority complex they may have in a safe and faceless manner. For providing such a venue, he deserves the public`s thanks and appreciation!

Very well put, thank you. I know that the majority of the hide are happy to help and understand that not everyone is a internet message board pro. If you can help someone like me, then please do! If it pisses you off that you have to deal with “dumb” message board posts, then say nothing. Move along and seek help.

Don’t take some lighthearted jokes at your expense too seriously. In life, outside of the internet too, everyone has asked a foolish question and gotten made fun of.

It’s like this: imagine you and your buddies are hanging out drinking some Bud. You open a new beer and it explodes in your face. Someone shook all of the beer. You get some razzing.

1) hopefully you laugh it off and say something like, “I’m opening the next one slower you fuckers,” or “That’s exactly what I did on your mom’s face last night.”

2) hopefully you do NOT say, “You know what guys? You really hurt my feelings, I’m calling your mom and I’m taking my ball and going home.” (I am not saying that this is what you did)

Of course you need to figure out if they are being mean or if they do indeed like (or at least tolerate) you but are just giving you a hard time like guys do.

This place is no tea party.

Nobody "flew off the handle". If you think any of the comments above are "flying off the handle", then begs the question: are you a millennial snowflake by any chance.

This should be the place to come for guidance
You did get guidance....to wit: do even a modicum of your own investigation before you dump your dumb ass question here for others to do you research for you. And yes, with this site's glaring red flags...it was an incredibly dumb ass question.

I note that you have not offered a single word of defense when I stated that you apparently didn't do a single fucking thing to validate this site including even looking over the website in question with any rigor. Oh no, don't address the core of the issue...much better to just pout and whine about how mean we all are (well, I am). Get over it....you are NOT a martyr in this at all. Just shut up, man up, and take the lesson to do even a tiny bit of work yourself to heart. FFS.

But you did at least get Turkeytider...with his whole 177 posts...to leap to your defense and broadly characterize the board in general (I'm guessing he feels he can legitimately do that with his great deal of experience here). Its fucking blind leading the blind

innate need to bully others, or over compensation for an inferiority complex they may have in a safe and faceless manner.
Yo Turkey - read the actual fucking thread, look into the actual reasons why he caught some guff, and go fuck your psychoanalysis of the Hide.

Nowadays successfully drinking Bud will get you mocked.

I guess this is where I tell you to go fuck yourself! Welcome to the fuckin tea party. My feelings are far from hurt, unlike some of you I don’t let messages board comments affect me in any way.

Hoo boy.

For example, @Elh11480, look up a member by the name of LilGucci. He seems, ahem, well, a nicer way to put it is “neurodivergent.” He doesn’t maybe read social cues the best.

If you read his posts (read a bunch to get my drift) and you think, “Yeah, I totally agree with this guy. Solid. Why do people make fun of him?” then you perhaps should tread rather carefully here.

Yeah, fine...and once again:

Welcome to Snipers Hide. Oh, and a word of advice. The term ‘message board’ went away when we entered the 21st century and people stopped using dot matrix printers. It’s a forum ( of stupid fucks that are too dumb to do anything but kill things at long distances, but don’t tell them 🤫).

Personally, I wouldn't be overly concerned with the absolute best price. With guns I’ve found that service after the fact is a lot more important than with, say, consumer electronics. Guns are still like some hand-fitted thing out of the early 20th century. They can have issues, even the good brands.

So I like to use a local shop that adds on a lifetime warranty to any gun purchased through them. They handle the shipping and dealing with the company.

It’s come in handy. Shipping a gun to the manufacturer costs at least $50, and sometimes multiple trips are required.

I got a brand new replacement CZ 527 through this shop, with a lot less stress than if I handled it myself.

If you must go online, I think Bud’s has an add-on warranty like that, but I have never used it and the one time I did order a gun through Bud’s, yep, you guessed it, I got a lemon and had to personally deal with the manufacturer. Ugh.

Edit: Even if the LGS doesn’t offer a lifetime warranty, that’s ok because the gun will probably have issues early if it’s going to have them at all. Just make sure the LGS will handle shipping, ship on their dime, and will communicate with the manufacturer.

Thanks for the input! I just ordered a tikka varmint from buds and almost bypassed the lifetime insurance. Glad I got it for like $50 extra. I doubt the tikka has issues, but better safe than sorry I guess.

The insurance was probably a good move, particularly so since it`s a Tikka that you bought. No, I`m not saying that Tikka makes a problem prone rifle, to the contrary, they are excellent guns. They are, however, saddled with service through Beretta USA. In all likelihood one of the worst customer service outfits in the industry. The internet is replete with complaints concerning them.
