RE: New .17 caliber Rifles
I see your point about the Rifleman magazine. They do promote some calibers...I just hope they don't talk a bunch of people into buying a gun that they have no use for. (Not that a gun needs a purpose to be bought LOL)
It's kind of like the NASDAQ and some of these tech companies. They get pumped up so big that everybody buys in...but the cream always rises in the end.
