This gun sale didn't go wrong...it just didn't go the way you wanted it to. Scheels is a business, who says they have to give you what you want for your gun. They made you an offer, you didn't accept it, turn and walk away, simple as that.
I've sold alot of guns to Scheels and have bought quite a few too and was always treated with respect and courtesy. Sometimes we saw eye to eye and other times I had to walk away, no hard feeling, nothing personal. Your Classic Lion could be bought when brand new for around $1500, and they weren't exactly selling like hot cakes, it wasn't until they were getting closed ot and selling for around $1200 new that they started to move. You are in BFE North Dakota as well, I'm betting doubles aren't the hottest movers on the racks...if you want to sell your gun and not haggle with a store, put it for sale on the board or put it up on Gunbroker or Gunsinternational and try to get what you think is fair.
