It must be a regional thing. I have never seen 338 Federal on the shelves.
I seldom, if ever see anything
new on the shelves that interests me. With all the emphasis on "affordability" these days, Tupperware rifles and ARs get the most play. The majority of new, higher-end investment seems to be $1000+ 1911s. I understand the business reasoning, but it must cut into impulse purchases, from fussy old guys, anyway.
