Actually we stopped by the Countersniper booth for a good laugh, and their CEO was complaining about scopes walking off

Apparently the theives there really had no concept of what kind of scopes they were stealing.

I'm sad to see so many vendors had such a bad experience it was great to finally meet Tony and a number of other people.

I really enjoyed this show. I think it would be a really good idea for most of the Vendors to tether optics.

The Zeiss booth had all their optics tethered and I was still able to evaluate them the same as if they weren't tethered you could do anything with them.

Having the optics mounted to blue rifles is a great bet for keeping them in place.

I hope S&B gets their scope back.

Well, I dig up all photos taken during the show and I found the photo of scope in question. It's the one on the right.

My photo is dated 1/19/2011 at 1:56pm. Hope this helps S&B get their scope back.

Lots of scum bags there. I overheard at FNH and SigSauer booths that they got their pistol mags stolen.

To people who got free mags at the show...it's not worth it man.

Maybe S&B or Premier doing some reverse engineering of their own

Thats shitty all the gear stolen. Not to be naive, but hell, you'd expect better at a vendors show as big as SHOT. I fucking hate thieves

That's the model, but there were probably four or more at SHOT, one on each side of the squarish display. A serial number might be helpful for eventual identification, since "Prototype" scopes are around and this one may not be recovered for months or years, if ever.

This is an area where the expo center at the sands really needs to take responsibility and step it up with cameras or something along those lines.

Maybe someone just borrowed it to get prototype spelled correctly.

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

Downright disgraceful. I'll keep a beady eye out at the ranges I go to.

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

It was probably Leupold so they can use it to learn how to make a good scope.

LOL

That sucks though

Hope they find the assbag who did that and have him prosecuted.

Awfully big statement to make when publicly questioning a very well respected manufacturers integrity with absolutely nothing to substantiate it. Manners stocks have been out long enough that if they wanted to study them, they probably were legitimately bought a long time ago..... </div></div>

Except I was kidding..... don't read to hard into everything. </div></div>


Kidding or not, still a dick move... But then again that's par for the course with you.

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

I had my goodie bag stolen in '06 while at the US FireArms booth drooling all over the 6 shooters . I had 2 signed posters from Ronnie Barret , 2 signed Col. Cooper books . The scum took 3 bags total and we were less than 4 feet away , INSIDE the wire of the booth .

I wonder what else was stolen during SHOT ??

Not to get off topic but does S&B make a 5-25 in that tan color for sale to the public? I would love one of those!!

Lizzard, run down to Walgreens and steal some tissues.
It was a joke and clearly you cant take them well. So Sorry for your gentle feelings.

Scott that exact scope should be available in about 6 months.

Doing a background check at the door of 150,000+ people?
No way. You would be there for 4 days just doing that.

Funny how you're always joking when you get called out... If you're joking about it you might want to put something after your post as otherwise people will actually take you serious for a change, that is if they already aren't aware you're a silver spoon fed ass whipe.

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

Not to change the subject... but is NEXT years SHOT SHOW in ORLANDO??

If so... what are the stipulations for going?

Can active LEO get in??

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

What a disgrace. I hope the C-S brings it out somewhere where we can see it.

The casinos have cameras and observation people that are so good they can tell if an old lady is trying to use canadian quarters, if someone has switched the dice, or if you have touched a blackjack card accidentally with your pinky.

This could be stopped once and for all, but it's just a question of how much money they want to spend.

Where did you see that it's in Orlando? I go there every year for the PRI trade show (for auto racing) and it's an awesome facility it would be great if SHOT came down here.

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

Coming in late on the third page but I wanted to note that some idiot stole a silencer and an Aimpoint T-1 off of a rifle at a booth downstairs this year. Funny part is that it was a FAKE display can. I am hoping the guy isn't wearing muffs first time he fires it. Or better, sells the can to someone who gives him what he deserves when it turns up fake. The problem I really noted with the industry vs. gun show situation is that there are now a ton of booths selling retail. If this is an industry show for letgit dealers to shop new gear and place orders for their businesses, then why is there a need to sell retail? No legit industry person needs to buy one sling or a gaudy turquoise necklace. And don't get me started on the carts. One guy was actually rolling a leaf cart around. The type with bicycle tires like you use in your yard to take leaves and debris to a burn pile. Who let that in?

Re: STOLEN S&B 1-8x ALERT!

The way some Moslem countries handle thieves got me thinking one day. Let's presume the items stolen is a Television..first time they cut off your hand, second time they cut off your foot. Stealing TV #3 would be sort of tough. Holding the TV in your one remaining hand, hopping down the street on your one remaining foot. When they catch you for TV theft #3, you loose your head.

There just isn't a theft #4...and it makes it obvious to spot repeat offenders, you know to watch the people with one hand, and really watch those missing one hand and one foot. Just waiting for them to be stupid (again). Some of the sharia law intrigues me.

It will stop when Shot Show stops kidding itself and gets back to a zero public policy. It's a trade show for the trade not what it has turned into, a Gun show for the masses. It is a mess and everybody except the show organizers seem to know it. For those that didn't notice, empty booths everywhere, much smaller flow and the lowest numbers in three years. </div></div>

E3 went through this exact painful learning process.
