I'm with you Mac, there does seem to be a need, why that is so is beyond me...There is no competition between the old and the new in this case..They have altogeter different agendas in my opinnion...I love the old guns collect and shot them, and I hunt with a new Searcy...I don't find this particularly criminal...

I get the feeling some of the old gun fans feel threatened by the existence of the new guns, nothing could be more ridiculas...both have their good and bad points in my mind.
