Thread: Seeking feedback about the NZ rifle scope market/product offerings

Hi all,

I am a long standing forum member who has been interested in the NZ hunting/shooting market and what products we all like to use, with a particular interest in rifle scopes.
I have been passively collecting thoughts/information about the New Zealand hunting/shooting market for years and would now like to try get some hard data to back up what I think hunter/shooters are saying.

With the Moderators approval (Gimp) I am asking forum members to compete a couple of surveys to see what their thoughts are.
The two surveys are:
General NZ market survey (your thought's on the rifle scope market in general): https://tally.so/r/mYJ4Dq
Rifle scope builder (basically a tool to "create" your dream rifle scope): https://tally.so/r/npJDxV

These surveys have been created on a website called Talley (hence the Link).
They do not collect any personal data, and I have not asked for any names, forum names, DOB etc. They are entirely anonymous and there is no requirement to log in/create an account etc.

They should only take a few minutes each (unless you want to add a lot of comments) so shouldn't take up too much time, and are fairly straight forward.
If you don't want to complete them feel free to use this thread instead to add responses/thoughts.

Thank you for your time.

Should also mention that I do not represent any company (NZ or overseas), or interest group.
At this point it is entirely for my own interest, however I may be able to use the information to approach optic companies and get them to introduce products better suited to the NZ market (if applicable).

Feel free to share the surveys if you'd like, however perhaps don't post them to any large Facebook hunting groups.

Saving for later.
