Here is what I think. You have the likes of Merkel, Kreighof, Blaser, Chapius and Sercy building very high quality new guns and very reasonable prices (less than $10k). Those prices in relation to current incomes and other "toys" like motor cycles, boats, and light planes; owning a double becomes feasible for those who would have NEVER considered buying one but have always lusted for one. Like me.
