Opinions wanted. Do you like having someone else’s name on your rifles stock?

[Flintsack]

There are a couple of manufacturers of high-end PCPs, who insist their name belongs on my gun. They carve it into the stock in some fashion. Then they cover the pretty wood, with a durable but ugly finish that hides the grain.

thoughts?

Given the choice ... NO

Given wanting a specific rifle that happens to have said name on stock ... Not a deal breaker

 

[vinny]

I’m with Motorhead on this one.

 

[Yo]

Only if it's on a good reliable accurate gun. 

 

[Greenarrow]

I'd prefer NO logo/name in the wood or synthetic.

My Daystate CR94 and CRX were yellow name on receiver. I removed the yellow. Anschutz 2002 ugly name on their 10 meter rifle.Bought a Gary Cane black/grey stock.

I did the same with Wehnonah canoe plastered on the side of my solo canoe/ I hate advertising on toys.

FWB doesn't seem to plaster their name, except for breakbarrel Sport.

Have you seen some of the rifle pics (usually a FX Impact) that are covered muzzle to butt in stickers? I much prefer the manufacturer's named engraved on the stock to sticker covered ones but would prefer neither.

EVERY time I hold and admire certain air rifles I feel the same way I would far prefer just the wood/laminate and nice finish, won't keep me from ownin' one but would prefer my stocks not be billboards for a manufacturer.

 

[biohazardman]

I see no reason for them to carve a huge ugly logo into that beautiful wood stock as the info is already plainly printed on the action. I hate advertisements as well but if it's there I am not overly OCD about this kind of thing so would probly just leave it. 

 

[Moog]

I feel the same way about safety warnings stamped all over the gun.

 

[Long_Gun_Dallas]

Yeah, that's a no from me. It's a gun, not a billboard, lol.

 

[Flintsack]

That’s why I removed it from the one, the other one is next in line. I agree FX has horrible engraving also. What’s the deal guys?

 

[Mr.H]

Airguns and high end custom cutlery: NO to garish branding.

 

[sonny]

Like Samuel Jackson's wallet in pulp fiction ?

 

[Bob-in-WV]

I don't even like shirts with names on them and don't like stocks all marked up either.

Don’t defile the wood preferably. I am not a logo type guy, and there are a lot of weird names like Brocock.

Daystate’s name reminds me of the Indy500 for whatever reason. Gamo makes me think of Gumbo and so on. So no names engraved in wood is not cool. That being said not a deal breaker, but not sought after. 

 

[KWK]

Weihrauch does it too. HW50. I'm not a fan of it.

BSA did it in 1948 on the MK1 Airsporter. Not too bad a little more obscure

Ok, so you beat me on this one lieutenant.

Perhaps Daystate will create a sister company alongside Brocock and call it something like Clamshell

Clamshell, a name you can trust. Clamshell, building airguns since 2020. 


I wrote a bit, but then deleted it as it was a bit too easy to be improper. How did Brocock choose that name? 

 

[intenseaty22]

This is easily solved. DO NOT BUY their guns. If enough people don’t and express the reason, I guarantee you the practice will change. Otherwise, just live with it.
