[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 86490, member: 2245"] David, S&B have hunters working there. traditional hunting in germany requires a loden coat, and an 8x56 scope. Attitudes are hard to change, you should have heared the comments from the 3 German guys we had with us in Scotland when they saw my McMillan stocked, border fluted barreled, Balnit C coated, threaded, brugger and thomet moderated, sniper scoped and bipod equiped 30-06 rifle, and my mate Jon's "similar" reflex equiped 300wm. " Well that ain't hunting with such a rifle" was the comments. sure, you could give both rifles to any Military sniper and he could go directly into combat with no reservations what so ever (exept Jon's NXS (couldn't resist that)) my reply was, well sitting up a tree waiting for some animal to walk past is hunting then is it? It took quite a long explination that with such a rifle, we still prefered to stalk close, but with pressure to achieve cull numbers, it was nessecary to be able to take deer accurately from 5 to 500m. I managed to convince 2 of the 3. And your right, whats missing at S&B is a guy who has actively used a sniper scope in combat, who has actively shot competetively and who is in touch with the current trends in shooting sports. And yes i've answered a lot of questions for them on these areas, i've got thier technical guy on side and i've got the sales guy convinced, ive even got Hans Bender convinced. Its just due to the current recession, the market research (gentlemen in loden coats) are reluctant to try something out side of the box. I'm working hard on convincing em and i'm getting some where. and thanks for your support mate.,. Pete [/QUOTE]
