    I remember being overseas and there was an ad campaign and it was of a scope that had been found on a rifle that had been left in the wilds for years .... it looked rough as but was still functional...it was a great advert....i also remember an ad which i think was for a Nightforce scope used by the military which had been shot and was still working...great ad's !

    This story from a few years ago always stuck in my mind. Nice to see that the rifle has been put on display.
