[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4367245, member: 54876"] Yep. Although with 20 million or so out there they’re not going anywhere This industry seems to go in ten-year cycles. For a while it was trying to outdo Weatherby at Weatherbys game (Must be the absolute fastest regardless Of case size, recoil or efficiency), Then a weird trend towards long range benchrest style bolt guns - then after a while people found out they really don’t have the patience or discipline to get the most out of such rifles, So Out came the short fat magnums for a bit, - until People realized that all of these cartridges are cute and fit in short actions they don’t do anything that a 308 or 270 doesn’t do Then the rise up of the affordable AR- With a market partially driven by political upheaval. Heck, you can have 2 or 3 of the things for the cost of an M1A. I think the retro and vintage AR market still has legs, and and if there are strong democratic political candidates and opponents of these things, they will always sell And fast forward to today and people are back into lever guns again (and anything in 6.5 Creedmoor 😂) And might be my imagination, but discussions about home defense and “tactical” shotguns seem to have ramped up again . For a while we were sold on the fact that shotguns overpenetrate more than 5.56 for that use so why bother with shotguns anymore —— but that argument- which certainly has merit- seems to be played out and 18” barreled riot guns are selling like hotcakes - mass importation of Turkish benelli clones at cheap prices may have something to do with it Nobody gave SKS’s a second thought until you could buy them for $75 30 years ago either — as always, my opinion is worth what you guys pay for it😂 [/QUOTE]
