Ran across a major PR campaign by Remington today, pushing their Buckhammer Slug as best in the West, of course, and wondered why there was a direct comparison being made to "the most popular competitor" when most ads just talk about how good the product advertised is, and not how badly the "other guy's" stuff works
After going through the comparison, now I wonder how the "other guys" can even sell their stuff?!
Anyway, when you go into Remington's $5.00 Coupon zone and click through all the stuff to get to that coupon, finally, what you see is a real comparison, not just the regular "We're the best" stuff, so much as "We are BETTER than this other stuff", which struck me as pretty unusual, since they didn't identify "The Competition"
Of Course, Anybody who ever bought any can clearly see that it's Lightfield Sabots they are showing, and criticising, here.
The criticism matches what I've seen happen with the stuff, just never thought one of the big guys would bother to point it out this way.
Any of you slug hunters out there who know what's what, go here Compare Slugs and check it out.
Only complaint I've got is, by not "really" saying who the "competition" is, there's the risk that someone might not figure out what shells are doing such a bad job.
Looking at the results, seems they ought to be issuing a warning about that "other" product, and naming it..... Any other opinions out there? :8_9_6[1]:
