BOYCOTT BUSHNELL (Bushnell doesn't support the military)

[Justaguy]

I've been thinking about getting a Bushnell HDMR with an H59 reticle for awhile, and I decided to call Bushnell direct to see if they had any kind of Military pricing deals.

The only number I could find for them happened to lead me to thier Dealer's Rep, and he wasn't very helpful or polite at all. I asked about any kind of military special and he said I'd have to go through a dealer site (optics planet, etc.) and see if they had a mil special. He stated they didn't sell direct to the public, which I can understand, but; I then asked if they did military sales and he said they had an LE account rep, but nothing for just military. I asked:
"So, Nothing special for our boy's in uniform?"
To which he replied: "Nothing for people in football uniforms, baseball uniforms, POLICE UNIFORMS, nurses uniforms, or surfer uniforms. Nothing for anybody in any uniform."

I then pointed out that he had just mentioned that they had a Law Enforcement account section, and he said that was for sales reps to LE, and that maybe if they were selling to a military outfitter they would open an account but nothing special for: (and I quote directly) "...people who are JUST MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY."

I had heard really great things about the recently released Bushnell HDMR riflescopes, and even though for as long as I have been shooting (since the mid-1980's) Bushnell was a name that was not to be taken seriously in the tactical world, apprently the company wanted to make a real attempt at producing a quality tactical rifle scope. The HDMR I had a chance to examine seemed like they had gotten it right, and for a fair price too.

However after dealing with thier customer service rep (whose name I did not get...My bad), and after hearing how "Just members of the military" don't matter to them I for one have no problem voting with my wallet and showing them no financial support what so ever.

If I am wrong here, or if somebody can show me evidence for why I should feel differently then I will recant and reconsider Bushnell...But until that happens they are still just as CRAPPY of company as they have always been regardless of how well they did in producing the HDMR (Which IS a very nice scope).

Fuck it, BOYCOTT BUSHNELL.
