Not enough facts in excerpt but salesperson did do something wrong - offering the .22 as appropriate for the coyote. Not really something an ethical person would do from a hunter’s perspective.

it is not up to the salesman to steer the sale when the buyer has a fixed dollar amount or wants a particular gun for whatever reason.

I have walked out of gun stores when I told the salesman I want a ‘Ruger such and such’ and he asked me...’well why the hell would you want to buy a ‘Ruger such and such’ when we have these ‘Taurus such and suchs’ cheaper and are better guns?...'

I walked into the store around the corner and got the gun I asked for in the first place....seeing as how I was not asking the salesman's opinion but buying a specific firearm....I find there are a considerable % of gun sales personnel who are obnoxious and overly opinionated, like that.....
