You sound like you are from Victoria mate talking anbout Sauer and Mauser gaining ground. In QLD you would be lucky to see a Sauer in the field, or a Mauser M18. I see the Amerrican brands as still strong here, as they have been the last few decades. Tikka is popular yes, but so are Rem700, Wby, Ruger, Savage. And lets be honest the CZ452-457's are popular as higher end 22lR's sure, but a small fraction of the market next to more affordable Ruger, Savage and Marlin bolts.
