    As a retail manager it was my job to run multi million $ business, emails from randoms that offer very little opportunity for profit or repeat custom (and most of the time from people who don't end up buying as they are "just wondering") only got felt with if there was time. Often there wasn't.
    In the biz I was in it was normally kids with very little chance of a sale, shooting stuff is a completely different demographic.

    Chasing down costs and availability plus shipping of stuff you don't have in stock can take a real amount of time,if I had owned the biz I would have done some of them after hours-but still a lot were for stupid small shit that you know they will get cheep from a web retailer. Time is $ and I'm not going to spend 15-30 min to have a chance at earning $5 for s one off sale unless I have nothing better to do.

    You are a hard man Brads. You could at least sling him underneath.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I was driving through Taihape a few months ago and stopped for a Subway and coffee then popped into Taihape Sports. Best price I ever saw on Leupold VX1.
    When at home I like to support my local independent gun store...in my case The Gun Shop Motueka.

    I support local. And I'm honest with them, fuck em. A rip of is exactly that.
    I get a great deal off 'the most expensive shop in town'. I wouldn't shop anywhere else.
