I stipulated bolt guns not AR platforms. The 22 Creedmoor would sell like fire if it were offered commercially in bolt guns from Rem, Win, Ruger, Howa, etc.
Possibly, but also possibly not. What's your target market for that idea? Seems about half the people here think any .22 (and sometimes .24s) is too small for deer. Target shooters seem fond of 6 and 6.mms, for now anyway. AR lovers, a group I don't belong to BTW, are always futzing around with new uppers and other stuff. I believe the big money's in ammo, long term. Hornady has set the bar for gunmakers with their ammo specs, which should prevent the problems we've seen in the past with slow twists and other specification flubs. As with the 6.5 YouKnowWhat, Hornady has also avoided conflicts with existing wildcats.
If you watch the videos they've made about this, it becomes clear they have a stategy, right or wrong. We'll see.
