Smith&Wesson illegally copied Turkish Rifle
Smith Wesson is intent on producing hunting rifles. Apparently they obtained some Turkish rifles from Ata Rifle Co. and demonstrated them in a fair in the U.S.A. only to be spotted by Ata engineers who happened to attend that fair - even the serial number of the rifles were that of ATA! Ata lawyers sent a notice to Smith&Wesson, warning that they will take legal action should Smith Wesson continue stealing Turkish products.

That is pretty shitty. This should be a big blemish on their reputation. Even if they quit doing it and do not get sued, they should take a hit as far as their rep as a world class gunsmith.

I didn't see any evidence that ATA produced rifles. THe website only showed shotguns.
Also, do you have a reference to this?

Meh, I don't think it will affect them too much at all. Doesn't make me want one of these bad-asses any less.

Make you feel like dirty Harry, eh! 
I like guns, but I wouldn't even know what to do with a revolver that big. Maybe go wild boar hunting, but I don't hunt.

Heh. I might not know what to do either. I'm not one to do much hunting, but I'd go if I got to use one of those.

good stuff, M-107 Anti-Material rifle, uses the ammo on the left side, others .408 and .338 ;
This is Steyr IWS 2000 anti-material, .50 caliber
And its ammo comparing with 7,62 standart Nato ammo.
But I like this one :
CheyTac Intervention .408 caliber M200
