Vetmx, In the beginning of this conversation, I politely commented to one of your statements, You responded with, "My comment makes perfect sense but you couldn’t grasp it because you got offended because you’re in love. Fact." What is that? you really dont remember? It was only a day or two ago. I mainly got involved because I am interested in this gun, because it is a design by velocity-outdoors. They have been working on it for a couple years, and because it is not a rebadged KRAL. I am also interested in it because it is a hand pump friendly bottle gun, this alone is rare. I am pushing 60 yrs old & like to hand pump, its good for the heart. It allows me to go on several day hunts, and if needed, I can pump it up. This is in fact a velocity-outdoor's designed gun. They are just doing what every other company in our country has to do, farm out the build. When it comes down to it, it just costs alot of money to produce good products in the usa, Why do you think a simple 4x4 pickup can cost $70,000 + today. Here is a example. I retired @ 38 from running Motorsports dealerships. Most people don't know, most of the big 4 manufactures, do not make their own scooters. Im talking about the big 400 - 650cc. They cant build them in a motorcycle plant, they would have to build a seperate factory. This is not cost effective, being they dont sell enough to justify it. What they do, is build the engines, desigh the unit, and supply 100% of materials. Then they send their engineers to oversee production. What country has the most scooter factorys? China. Thats right, they have their scooters made there,. even though it is as though they made them their self. One example SUZUKI BURGMAN 400 & 650. Both allways held top honors in the shootouts & sales, year after year. Both built in china. The others do the same. It does go both ways, the honda goldwing was built in OHIO. The Suzuki & Kawasaki ATV'S are built in the southern part of the united states. This is because of the tariffs, and the fact that we have great natural resources, ie steel, copper. They send the engines and they are built here. This is all I was looking for, a polite conversation & information. We did have another party chime in, just looking for trouble (6600) maybe wires got crossed because of this trouble making rude person. Either way, I am a good person, who is always respectful, unless bitten. There is too much of this rudeness in our world today. We can all learn from conversation! If we remain open minded.
....going back to the Benjamin Rogue, payed celebrities reviews where stellar as well as specs put out from the factory, once the gun got into real customers hand it was an all different story.
