mickey - Under new ownership (post 1998), Heym is a lot leaner and a lot more focused in its product offerings than it was then. Its markets and subsequent penetration are also a lot more focused today than they were then. Heym is not as big of a company as it was pre '98, but it is a lot healthier today and much more agile than it has historically been. Double rifles in particular are of renewed interest to HEYM, and I think you'll be surprised at what comes out of there in the next few years.

The European companies that are in the most immediate danger are the small ones that got hung out to dry in the Litt's fiasco. There were some that took pretty big hits over that.
