I have read for years what a great company PA is if you have an issue with a new AG. some go so far to say, "If you don't like it", you can return for something else.
In years of dealing with P.A., I have never had a need to return an order of any kind.
I find that I am now stuck in an ongoing saga, that is really wearing me down.
In November a Rainstorm II was ordered, but the delivery (instock date) kept changing. Finally in frustration, I ordered a Nova instead.
Ended up liking the Nova just fine, Heavy but as I shoot mostly bench, not really an issue, And the high shot count was a Big +!
The gun was very inaccurate when it first arrived. 27 yards, .25 MK II's were 4'5", and JSB 25 gr. were over 1 1/2" This was at just 27 yards folks.
It did start to improve by the third outing, but never got good. 1 1/4" to 1/1/2" at 27 yards, 2" to 1 3/4 at 50 yards. (it was pure shotgun at 50 at first) It just never would group.
Removed the bbl. and found heavy striations crossing the lands for the first 2 1/2" of the breach end, and a ring 1/4" in the bbl. on the muzzle end.
I contacted P.A. and they issued a RMA after several days after the conversation.
UPS picked up the gun 4 days later.
Now I get what looks to be a standard form letter stating that I will be charged a 20% re-stocking fee + return shipping to PA if the issues are not as I describe.
This is not at all what I have been hearing on this and other forums for years. I feel like I'm being held hostage. Now I read from them that it will take up to 10 days after they receive the AG to look at it and make a decision.
I feel as though I am dealing with some outfit in the Desert now, rather than P.A. And It looks like I will have been waiting on a working
AG for close to two months from the company that I have done business with for over 11 years. GRRRRRR!!!
Any input would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if this is standard or I am just getting a little fed up? Or just plain screwed over.
