As a hunter I want a light sleek rifle with a flush magazine . A single shot rifle is even more compact, leverguns are easy to carry all day . An AR is too awkward to carry on a horse, they are not sleek and all the projections would catch on brush etc while hunting. I often carry two rounds, both in the magazine ready for use with my repeaters. The balance are in the pack. It works well. So, is the tactical wave a way to increase sales in an industry that is serving a smaller hunting community? Is it all for those that like a follow trends? Is it defined by age? If it is driven by those that play games of violent shooting on their computer or ultra violent movies , we are all in trouble, imo My guess is that the real professionals, ex serviceman who used them in warfare have little interest in them as civilians. I would like to hear from( more) ex military types and how they feel about this trend. Curious, folks.
