If you do a google search (shopping) on some the mid - high range air rifles and sort by price you may see a Bluegrass Discount come up that offers these guns at prices FAR below what most all reputable dealers are asking.

I made the mistake of placing an order with them on 7/18.
Since then it has been a nightmare.
They would not input any shipping information in the order after repeated calls.
They promised to refund my original order and place a new one and have it fed ex'd to me.
This too fell through.
Repeated calls to them will get you nothing but promises and no goods.

Bottom line - I am out $600.00 and Bluegrass Discount is no longer taking calls and I have no new rifle !

STAY AWAY FROM THEM

After spending more effort on this than I should have (please include contact information/web information on this sort of thing when posting), there is a "Bluegrass Discount":

Bluegrass Discount LLC
24 Moore Rd
London, KY 40744

here is the likely link to the product you are speaking of: http://www.bluegrassdiscount.com/products/Falcon-Airguns-Prairie-Falcon-Sporter-Rifle-%252d-0.250-Caliber.html

Looking at it- note that the part numbers on the Falcon product are PyramydAir part numbers- not the factory Falcon part numbers (interesting warning sign #1). Note that this place sells everything from soup-to-nuts, obviously they have no sort of specialization or market they address other than "low price" (warning sign #2). The price is so absurdly low when compared to other vendors- it seems unlikely they can even purchase the product themselves at that price (warning sign #3- too cheap).

It appears that, if they are somewhat legitimate that they are likely to be having product shipped from multiple vendors and have no actual inventory and/or this is some guy in his living room who is probably already in over his head and maybe doesn't know it yet. This is being nice, as the whole enterprise might be a criminal set-up to start out.

That being said, it is possible that your rifle is coming- but from somewhere other than these guys' "warehouse" and thus some delays. However, not telling you this may be indicative of the level of ethics they have/don't have- even if the product does show up eventually.

Perhaps you could update this situation in a few more days to see if the product shows up, or if this was some sort of scam.

If you used a credit card, just contact the card issuer (your bank), and ask them to chargeback the $600. If you dispute the charge, in all likelihood you'll get your money back.

If you used paypal, same process; dispute the charge.

If you sent a check, you're pretty much SOL.

I don't see an "About us" link on their page. That's pretty much an automatic no business flag, in my opinion.

I made a small purchase to test the fruit. The payment made via googlecheckout. When found no shipping info, decided to mail them via googlecheckout and got a reply which says that they haven't received the amount and very next day, google asked me to update the card details as the payment has been canceled due to attempted to charge to my card is failed. When contacted to my bank, I understood that they cleared the amount and they are clueless now. I was given 48 hrs by the bank. I will wait and will update.

If I understand correctly, you we do the checkout from google or paypal the rest assured that, there is no fraud and our money is secured.

I just went through this with paypal. Made a payment and did not receive anything. To paypal's credit, I filed a complaint, actually got on the phone to talk to a rep and the charges were refunded within 24 hours. I was pleasantly surprised with the promptness.

Buyers tend to have it pretty good with PayPal- sellers using paypal, however, are open to a whole different situation. Really don't know much about Google's services either way, however.

There is no record of complaints for this company yet, but if I understand the information on the BBB site this company started not very long ago.
