Its always new, never used!

Always New: I just read a hunting report. It made me laugh - the guy was using a pair of binoculars that cost over £2000. The rifle he was using cost over £2500, the scope was around £3000, the bullets were around £5 apiece. No, he wasn't in Africa or anywhere like that. The camo jacket and trousers were over £700. Oh, the case for the rifle was £400, the boots £500, and the gloves £50 yadaa, yadaa. I know that this is one way some kit makers use for advertising, and of course the article was written so that all the equipment appeared AMAZING. Kinda like Edith Bowman of Radio 1, in that every band on her show is amazing. Come on, the total price for the kit was over £10k, yes £10k. The hunt itself was only about £3,000....What am I getting at? Why doesn't anyone ever review USED equipment or an update on the kit that has had some life, that has been rained on, been dropped etc. and still works just as good as the day they bought it. They do a used CAR review, why not a used hunting gear review. They review used shotguns, especially the good ole English ones at that. But have you ever read where someone said, "I am going to start from scratch and I only have £700 for everything, rifle, scope, bins, camo and kit". I have yet to read in this country where someone says, " I bought this Tikka 65, Rugar M77, Sako, etc. etc. for £400, then I bought a Weaver Scope, for £160, Scope rings for £75 and the bins I bought are used for £200, The bullets I am using are...." You know, not everyone wants to spend over £10k on a rifle and some kit. I personally think it would be much, much harder to do an honest review on previously used kit, and tell the truth...if it's crap, say it's crap.If it's great, say it's great. Kinda like Top Gear do when they have to buy a car under a certain budget and then 'ring it's neck'. Could be wrong, but I think the person writing the article has to say the kit is amazing or they don't get a cheque at the end of it. Come on, let's have honest articles about new kit, and let's re-test used kit, to see if its really worth the investment!
