Marlin firearms owns them so whatever that is.
God, Family, and guns, in that order!

If sales are up, people want this product. Do you think that NEF would listen to what the people want now? You know, maybe a 257 Roberts, which I am partial to, 35 Whelen or any of the others people are asking for?

We're not trend setters, Winchester, Ruger and Remington are pricing themselves out of business. I was in a local gunshop yesterday looking at rifles. On the rack was a new Winnie 94 in 454 Casuel......$550.00  :eek:  :eek:  :eek: Only difference in this rilfe and a 30-30 94 is a barrel and a few modifications to the lifter throw and such....not a big deal and certainly not $200.00 + over the cost of a plain jane 30-30.

Remington is resorting to importing Biakals rather than make an honest rifle of their own that fits the entry level market. Ruger makes some nice rifles, when you can find them, and if you can afford them when you do.

All in all, Good for NEF. Perhaps it will spur them to offering a wider selection of chamberings. A 454 Casuel would be a very good start. The 7.62X39 sounds great, but I bet they would be surprised at how many 300 Whispers they could sell. A 32-20, a 25-20 or even a 25-35 would all be rifles I would add.

Deer aren't the only thing hunted in America, and while the 223 will do a lot of things the 32-20 won't, there is also plenty the 32-20 will do the 223 won't either.

If enough folks e-mailed them and called them repeatedly...they might consider bring it back...apprently sales wern't as good as they wanted them to be ..and sadly discontinued them...

From the Canadian  perspective their sales are up because they finally getting stock out in decent numbers.  When I bought my 243 ultra last year I had my first choice of 223 ultra on back order for 8 months and I was watching for 4 months prior to that.  I don't know how it was south of the border at that time, but they were hard to come by here.
