I bought a Winchester Select Synergy O/U in February of 08' and went to use it at the start of the season for 08' but the darn thing had rust starting to develop on the stainless steel on the bottom of the receiver. I don't keep my guns in an enclosed area and I clean my guns once or twice every few months to keep the dust off of them. I bought it at the local Bass Pro so I took it back and told them that it needed fixed. They sent it into Winchester at the middle of December 08' for me and I got a call yesterday from Bass Pro about it being back but they had good news and bad news. I asked what the bad news was and they told me that the gun that I sent it couldn't be fixed, my jaw dropped and I muttered some cuss words under my breath. I hastily asked what the good news was supposed to be and she told me that they shipped me a brand new gun in it's place. I thought to myself, "that's truly great news for once", as soon as I got home from work and told my wife about it I took my 2.5 yr old son and we headed to Bass Pro to pick up my new gun. I was in a hurry since my son, my coworker, his son and myself were going golfing that evening so when I signed for the new gun in a sealed box that I didn't even bother to look at the box to make sure that it was the same gun. I got home from golfing and I opened the box only to realize that they sent me a Model 101 Deluxe Field in its place. Man I was so excited that I assembled the gun, lubricated where it needed it and must of have played with it for at least an hour. I'm truly greatful for the customer service at both Bass Pro and for the folks at Browning/Winchester. Yet another reason that I but Winchester and shop at Bass Pro. A happy ending to a bad ordeal......:thumbsup: :10sign:
