[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2083974"] I think they are on the fringes of mainstream production for hunting. If you consider that 90% of the rifles sold in America are less than $800, and sold to shoot at whitetail deer from tree stands, they won't be able to move many people there. They have tried several times to make Americans like the 8mm stuff, and even called it .325 to appeal to our love of all things not metric, but it hasn't really worked. I think .30 is as big as the average American ungulate hunter will reliably buy, and .24 is about as small, so they are trying to create a firestorm in the middle. The success of the 6.5cm will haunt us for decades. It has become a modern day gold rush. [/QUOTE]
