Why is that? I found every gunshop in Europe I visited to be quite friendly and allowed me to handle anything I wanted. I wish I could remember the store near Landstuhl that I went to all the time. It was well stocked for everything from small game to Africa, as well as all sorts of competitive target shooting. Loved all the great stutzens.
Rod and gun club? Yes, they would let you handle guns. Bought a Anschutz there. The German ones I went to wouldn’t let me handle anything. Oddly enough, I remember one German store had a NIB savage 99 clip model

No, actual German shops. Never had any problem handling whatever I wanted. Maybe different times and locations. Was there 2003-2008. I even visited several high end shops in Paris and could handle whatever I wanted.

Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
