Wall of Shame
EuroOptic was infamous for maintaining a list of customers who attempted or successfully defrauded or broke the trust of the company during its early days. This list often contained the customer's name and address, and occasionally information about which products they had fraudulently obtained. This practice proved to be interesting to the readership of this site, and prompted a few bounty hunters to begin working through the list proferred on the Wall of Shame in hopes that they might split some of the profits of collecting the charges for the illegitimately-obtained products.
The Wall of Shame was taken down in the early 2010s due to concerns about reputability of the practice.
Sponsorships
EuroOptic sponsors many shooting, hunting, safari, and conservation efforts, and is a sponsor of most all Precision Rifle Series events.
