Some years ago, maybe the early 80's Savage tried making them in Spain. A few guns were produced, but it was a short lived project.
The original machined brass rotor was a pricey proposition. Costs were were cut w/ cast aluminium rotors. , then finally removable magazines.
Gunshow prices started going up maybe twenty five years ago. I agree, bolt guns started to dominate around 1980.
Familiar story ; I kick myself for not buying a couple others when I had the chance.
