Case in point, I’m at an Academy gun counter and I really want the new (at that time) Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. They have one in stock.I look at it and ask the clerk if they have one in the box. He checks and says the only one they have is this display rifle.I proceed to tell him that it has what might be a little scratch on it and looks like it has been banged around a bit. I then asked how long they’d had it?He checked and said it had been there more than a month. He then said he would check with the manager to see if the could give me a break since it was a display unit and had a little scratch on it.They knocked $250.00 off the price. I kid you not, the manager said it really needed to go and it did look like it had been handled a lot.I smiled and said I guess I’ll take it even though it wasn’t in perfect condition. A brand new all metal RPR with a few fingerprints on it at a price that was way below the going rate.Both parties were happy! A win / win deal for everyone <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😬" title="😬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png" /></blockquote>
