Maybe mistaken but I thought I read (shortactionsmoker and others) say that there are a number of young people out there looking for a quality rifle. Seems to me that the firearm market is a lot like the electric vehicle market. Things we really don't want are getting shoved down our throat and you either buy it or there are few to no other options. TheBigSky just said it.... looking for a higher end rifle and they weren't out there.
