I live in a smaller city with only a handful of local gun shops. Most have virtually no inventory. One I will never step foot in again (*).

Was in a week ago shopping for a 22. They had a Ruger 10/22 Takedown in stock and I spent some time looking at it as well as a few other 22’s they had in stock.

I asked if they could call me when another arrived at their store so I could come in and buy it. Their response was they do not know when it is coming in and I should just call to see if they have any in stock.
