And no one wants to take a return if you cant travel from say Kentucky to Oregon to return it in person.

    Always liked the look of the K31icon and other swiss rifles, but I can never find the ammunition that matches the rifles that DO show up for sale online.

    I do like the look of the swedes, and the cartridge is perhaps the only caliber starting with a 6 that is, or will be worth buying.
    Those retailers aren't using proper NRA standards then and they have to return it or they can be sued for fraud. When it is something like the bluing is 70% when it is advertised as 75%, good luck. But when the barrel is bulged or split and it was advertised as VG, you have a clear case to get refunded.

    Personally when I sell I always disclose any flaws I can think of to the buyer. I have never had anyone ask for it to be returned as they knew exactly what they were buying. Being in the USAicon I would just go to gunshows if condition is a concern. I have only been to one in the States and I was blown away by the variety available.
