I am more or less on the same page.

I sure do like the Hawkeye models. Sad to hear they are going away.


Not the Hawkeyes, just the rotary-mag 77/whatevers, and they're only suspended for now.

Given the trend, however, I'd be inclined to get anything I really wanted before they changed the lineup again.


What fresh Hell is this?
