It’s pretty obvious that both SSHTVs are of similar bow-less design, but given the fact that none of the companies involved in the design of BOKA Vanguard have been mentioned in relation to Hua Rui Long, I’m wondering if it’s a bootleg copy. After all, the Chinese are pretty flexible when it comes to intellectual property rights…
