OT But Interesting Walmart & Savage - 07/23/14
OK , I'm kinda loath to admit it but about a month ago I bought one of those ugly azz Savage 42s at Walmart.
It was on clearance for pennies on the dollar.
It's still in the box , unused & unfired.
Today I take it out & looking it over I notice that the cheap , plastic rear sight is damaged.
I go to the Savage website & no joy finding a replacement.
I call Savage , told them serial # , state I live in , last name & first name. Then the Savage guy says "Do you still live at (insert my address here)"
So Savage Arms knows where I live without me ever telling them.
I guess maybe Walmart gave Savage my address.
The Savage guy said "I'll get that part right out to you" , didn't ask for a credit card number or anything else.
Maybe when Walmart sells a firearm they send warranty info to the manufacturer ?
