Future in 80 year olds, no. 50? Well, based on who seems to have any money (I.e., employed, not living in mom's basement, disposable income for guns) and who spends on non-AR platforms, for the next 10-15 years the buyers who are 50 right now are *exactly* who you want to court. It's not like CZ keeps models going for 25-30 years. In 5-6 they'll be announcing the app's replacement and people with money to spend on rifles will be offering the same complaints (as they slip further away from the 550).
