Pronounce it however you want. Half of the people won't know if you are pronouncing it right or wrong and the half the does know won't care. Same goes for Lapua and Sako.

Hmm...I always thought it was "o-give". No wonder people look at me funny when I say it...

I saw that as well, some sources provides two pronunciations just like tomato (British vs American) but as others has pointed out the "O-JIVE" is the most common of the two.

Cheers!
