Just an observation. May or may not be accurate. Certainly the cross section of shooters and their shooting interests has changed in the last 20 yrs. They don't wan't to shoot their Grampy's old deer rifle anymore.


What you are seeing is progress. Right now, ARs are the rage. In the same way that M1 toy guns, Johnny Sevens, and Roy Rogers cap gun and holster sets were the rage when I was a child, so it is with ARs. They are on TV, in the movies and virtually every shoot 'em up video game that kids play. They saw it on TV or on their Nintendo, so they naturally will want it when they're older. This is no different than my desire to own a real Roy Rogers 6 shooter or wear a coon skin cap.

Marketing is more powerful than "the Force".


Safe Shooting!
