One thing's for sure: Most firearms companies don't offer what customers aren't buying. At least not for long.
This. I imagine the RAR is cannibalizing some of the sales of the Hawkeye All-weather, along with bringing in buyers that wouldn't have forked over the money for the Hawkeye in the first place.
Perhaps it's a bit selfish of me, but I'm kind of glad. Simply because the sales on the all-weather model for $499 put it within my budget and I snagged one. I'd rather have the Hawkeye for $499 than a RAR for $350.
