BOLO - 375 Allen Magnum

[royinidaho]

Be on the look out for the following:

A 375 AM, all up, Leuy Mk-4 LRT w/TS-29 reticle.

It morphed from above description to a fabricated metal thing somewhere between Blackfoot, ID, SLC, Billings MT and Kalispel MT.

Pics of both

Anyone have an idea of what the metal thing is?

Whatever it is they probably don't want it back, as bad as you want your rifle.

Was the box switched, or just the contents?

 

[royinidaho]

Label simply removed from a card board box and placed on a crate.

The deed happened at the hub in Pocatello ID.

Who knew your were shipping it locally.

Who knew your were shipping it locally.

Just the fedex guy and the store owner...

I suspect that more will come to light when the fella who wanted the "funnel" learns he isn't getting it will start another search.

Kinda like trailing a game animal with a dog with no nose....

That happened to me with a rifle a few years ago...labels got switched somehow. I received a pistol barrel and my rifle ended up in Baltimore, MD in the "black hole" where all mis-marked packages end up. I got it back but it took over a month.

It just sucks, upsets me just thinking about it, can't imagine what your thinking.

I don't feel good about it. I still think there was criminal activity in the label switch. I hope I am wrong. There must be video in the hub in Idaho so we can see who went out the door with it.

Did you ship it in a regular looking box or in a gun case? I really don't like shipping in a case without a cardboard cover to make it look plain.

 

[RockyMtnMT]

It was a gun case that was covered in a cardboard box. Even at that it is pretty obvious what a box like that is. Could be golf clubs I guess.

Was it going to you Steve?

 

[royinidaho]

Yep, it was. . .

I was expecting a big beautiful 375 AM girl and I got a funnel.

Roy volunteered his girl to help work on bullets for the big Cheytac based case 375's. Turns out the big horse power behind the heavy bullets is causing them to spin out. Our original 395g Hammer Hunter doesn't have the problem but it has the most baring surface of our big 375's. So the plan was to use Roy's rifle to figure out how much ratio of baring surface to bullet weight is needed in order to get full stability. Seemed like a great idea.
