Sea Sniper…Snipping measurements

I’ve just joined the Sea Sniper club...…got me a Reef Pro 130 cm………...or is it???

Just to clear matters, the gun is beautiful, the on-line store I bought it from have excellent service …Brent at kayakfishingsupplies.com is a great guy
BUT………BUT………..BUT

Although the Reef Pro 130 cm is stated as 130 Stock Length…….the gun I received looked too long for a 130 cm so I measured it and it came out to be 150 cm in stock length,………… about 15% longer than I asked for.

I feel there is some kind of unintentional mistake here….something went wrong when the people at Sea Sniper tried to express an American made gun in Euro size.

American size their guns by measuring it from butt to muzzle......i.e., Stock Length…….whereas, European guns are measured according to Barrel Length……..Let’s take an example.

If we take an RA 100 cm (although it’s made is S.Africa but Rob uses European sizes) it translates to:
1- The BARREL of the gun is 100 cm
2- The total length of the gun is 120 cm...which in this case is called Stock Length in the US.

PLEASE.................Correct me if I’m wrong

So how did a stock length of 130 cm become 150 cm

I know a lot of guys on this forum have Reef Pro’s and I would like to hear their side of the story.

Cheers,
Ihab
