This is relativiely old news... but, I really am hoping they can make a splash when they get back. The problem continues to be CVA, using foreign markets that gives them the ability to undercut the prices + their ability to copy and undercut. And there is no denying that they have improved their quality nearly 10 fold.
One of the big market questions that needs to be answered is, IMO, in the US market, are the bulk of the sales of ML's going to continue to be inexpensive muzzleloaders that extends the season for most hunters, or is there still a market for a QUALITY ml that might be considered a life time rifle. I continue to ask how many folks hunt year-round with a ML and how many hunt short special seasons only. Does all of this effect the price that you are willing to pay?
