Geminis not popular in finals?

[dezzick3]

Just a quick query as to why I've never seen a System Gemini stock in a World Cup Final or Olympic Final? Plenty of their buttplates but no stock! Is there a reason for this? (coming from a slightly worried soon-to-be Gemini owner...)

There is nothing wrong with the Gemini stocks, but they just don't seem to be very popular on the continent. I suspect that the herd mentality plays a part, if a Gemini stock is used to win, you would see more. The £ - € exchange rate won't help, as it will compete against other good alu stocks, both custom and in-house.

The one international shooter that did use one was Jen McIntosh but she's switched to a Grunig Classic Sport now. I've used the stock before and I liked it and am very much looking forward to getting one. Was just wondering if there was a significant reason for international shooters not using a Gemini!

because the guys in the finals are heavily sponsored and companys like anschutz walther g&e and blieker pay more

Ah, hadn't thought of that!
