Rob01 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this but I figured it would get the most views here. Mods if you want to move it then feel free. It has come to my attention through our rep at Schmidt and Bender that someone of low morals has stolen one of their new 1-8x Short Dots from their booth at SHOT Show on Friday. They actually stole it with the display stock and all on it. The scope is marked "PROTOTYPE" on the eye piece behind the 1-8x24 marking. I have been told that our rep is offering a reward of $500 off a S&B scope if anyone has any info that leads to the return of the scope. Please keep an eye out for the scope when shooting or on any for sale forums around the net. You can contact me if you see it. Thanks for the help.

mpeltier Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Didn't Tasco announce saturday morning they had a "NEW" 1-8 available?? Just kidding, That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Next thing all the scopes will be in display cases where you can't get to them without a rep. (Nikon booth was partly like this). Always some jerk trying to ruin it for everyone. Hope he gets turned in and hammered. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruyere Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I don't condem stealing, cheating or lying in any way...so don't think that's what I'm advocating. It is an interesting thing that a scope that was premiered at SHOT last year and again displayed this year, which is completely unobtainable, with a rolling release date of 6/10, 8/10, 9/10, 12/10, ???... gets stolen. From now on, if someone mentions that scope I'll tell 'em "The only way to get one of those is to steal it at SHOT!" ;-) PLEASE S&B release that scope!!!

spd522 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think you meant "condone". it's probably in Beijing right now. just sayin'.... sadly, you are probably right. From some of the comments I was hearing from other manufacturers about their product ideas being copied/stolen, I agree. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It was pretty funny this year (as in years past) seeing the little short gentlemen with the big cameras holding everything close to the lens and taking dozens of pictures per item.

orangeman711 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's just to bad it's illegal to eliminate everyone that deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam Carter Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's just to bad it's illegal to eliminate everyone that deserves it. Just do it anyway!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think you meant "condone". it's probably in Beijing right now. just sayin'.... It would be ironic if the Chi-copy made it to market before the Real thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik S. Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I hate thieves! They ruin stuff like SHOT for everyone and hurt businesses and individuals. Someone at S&B probably came down hard on the guy working the booth, unless it was a higher up S&B rep to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
