Interestingly, in my local area custom Mausers, custom Springfields and custom Enfields bring very little money. Guys just don't know what they are, don't understand them, and don't want them. But Browning (ugh!), Ruger and Remington sell really well. Sako does ok. Weatherbies usually only sell to guys who are new to the sport. It is relatively rare to find a guy who has hunted with a Weatherby every year for 10 years.

But let's face it - the masses are stupid. That's why dictatorship was invernted.

The big new thing here is ultra long range big game hunting with sniper style rifles and tactical scopes. Mostly those rifles are Rem 700's because they are cheap, with a few Sako TRGs and some other stuff thrown in.
