One thing I really like and respect in this new development from Schmidt and Bender is that they are being completely open and up-front about where this new line of rifle-scopes is being made. The advantage for Schmidt and Bender in manufacturing a line of rifle-scopes in Hungary is, of course, that production costs are a bit less expensive, and this saving can be passed on to customers in the form of lower prices. Partly because it reminded me of old friends, and partly because the “Hungaria” line of rifle-scopes are the traditional “Klassik” that are so well respected in knowledgeable shooting circles.
So when I saw that Schmidt and Bender have begun making a new line of rifle-scopes in Hungary it immediately got my interest. So I acquired a considerable respect for Hungarian people, certainly the ones I knew were ethical and gentile, with a delightfully Eastern European mild eccentricity mixed with a strong sense of tradition that made time with them all the more interesting and fun.
Back when I was living in the Australian Goldfields my group of shooting friends included some Hungarians who made some of the best salami I’ve ever come across and also a very palatable cherry brandy.
