Was just browsing for a new to me rifle in a semi rare cartridge now that I reload. Quickly came across a stainless Ruger 25-06 for a decent price. I have the same gun in .308 and love it. Was excited to hit the buy now button until I got the message that this self righteous Texas POS doesn’t sell to my state. A bolt action in an obvious hunting round. The notes said something about how our laws just aren’t worth the trouble. Who’s laws? I didn’t vote for them and we actually were close to defeating the other side’s gov last time. May get closer next time.
We’re up here holding the fort and you guys act like petulant children not selling to us. You aren’t offending the people you intend, you are excluding people that should matter to you. FU buddy. Don’t come here. We have real deer, mountains, clean lakes full of fish, grouse, black bear, turkeys. Enjoy the sand in your shorts, mini bucks, mud bass and those stupid little pigs running around biting your ankles.

Since when has a 25-06 been semi rare?

The guy doesnt owe you shit. You do sound like a PITA to deal with though. You should send the guy an email and share your thoughts and feelings.

This has gotta be a troll. Nobody is this dumb?

Don’t come here

I mean, if you're trying to one up Texas of all states on what one could hunt or fish, you did as great of a job as the US did on the war on drugs.

For what it’s worth…which might not be much, I’ve had lots of success picking up the phone and explaining I’m nowhere near NYC and things end up just fine. I have found that many say no shipment or sales to NY, but the intention is to steer clear of NYC.

There’s a giant piece of ground in NY that isn’t NYC.

As an upstate NY resident, I don’t blame any retailers and especially private sellers that refuse to sell items to us for fear that they’ll get bound up in some legal battle if not now, down the road when the clowns in Albany come up with more tyrannical laws to attack the firearms industry

Just one of the many, many joys of living here (sarcasm)

Former New Yorker. Gun laws around NYC, Long Island and west Chester are hard to navigate. Must retailers seem to just ignore the whole state as a result. Some years ago a New Yorker bought a rifle from a shop in Louisiana that a buddy owned part of. It seems like the DA in Brooklyn tried to charge the store with some kind of offense. It all got dismissed but it cost the shop some attorney’s fees.

You sound like a spoiled little child. He can choose whom to sell to the same way you can openly complain. Move on.

Bro the only 2 things bad about Texas are the fire ants & those gay ass yell leaders at Kyle Field

Easy friend. This thread was mostly civil right up until you did this…

It must be rough living somewhere where the only college tradition is trying to drink the town dry (one of many A&M traditions).

I'm not sure it's "all" the people he is against, but your DA's have a habit of going after gun organizations, gun manufacturers and gun sellers, why would he want to be a part of that?

By the way, a 25-06 is pretty common where I am.

All joking aside, it really is frustrating sometimes when you find something you want and the owner won't sell it to you out of fear rather than knowledge. I mean you have to ship to an FFL. At that point it's on the FFL whether to do the transfer or not, but I guess that's the sellers prerogative. I just look at it as the seller lost potential bids and another one will come along eventually.
