Title: Truglo ssx mispackaged??
Post by: Quax on March 08, 2011, 07:01:58 PM
I was in academy sports this weekend and noticed they had a truglo combo with sights and choke for sale for $20. The package said gobble stopper xtreme but had a strut stopper xtreme in the package. All the packages were like this, not just one.  This store only had it in remchoke. The ssx alone cost more than $20

probably someone bought the gobble stopper and replaced it with the ssx in order to get a free choke

They must have wanted about 20 chokes of a lesser quality and cost then lol

Hey if they still have them at that price I sure would like to try one if the store is close by and not out of your way.  I'd be happy to pay you for the shipping.  Let me know if it isn't any trouble.

I would but store is about an hr away. I'd bet it's not the only store carrying these mispackaged tubes. The packaging is new for this year and xtreme written in orange I believe. Next time ur at a sporting goods store it might be worth checking out

Could you tell me where the store is at and maybe the phone number?  Maybe they will ship one to me.

Academy sports in little rock, ar; it's a sporting goods chain. Mayb able to order online but who knows which u'd get. My experience with them on phone is not good, just average joes working and don't seem to know much

I found one near Houston,TX in an Acadamy store for a 835. There were about 15 or 20 packages but only one had a ssx.

If anyone is from the Little Rock area and wouldn't mind getting me one of these chokes in Rem choke I would appreciate it.  I will pay you for the shipping and then some.

I agree with you Shawn....

Maybe that Chinese company should set their employees up with some Rosetta Stone - Learn Basic English
