Young guys don't want Springfields and there are not enough of us old dudes around to make much of a dent in the market. There are lots of Model 12s and Springfield sporters just laying around out there because if it's not black or cammo it won't sell. A friend just amazed a group of young hunters by shooting a peep sighted Model 71 accurately at 300 yds.
It's different gun world than it was 15 years ago.

Anything Worth Doing is Worth Overdoing
