In this century we’ve seen gun fads come and gun fads go. We started with all things 1911 all the time and went to AR based carbines that didn’t weigh much more, from there we went off on a tangent of long range “tactical rifles”.
The latter spawned a small crop of “training” 22’s that are quickly becoming a phenomenon all their own. Now you have a couple of higher end makers making supposedly better accurized 10/22 clones as well as a whole slew of chassis 22 rifles.
Unfortunately I only see the cost to avidly shoot centerfire as only going up due to a whole host of circumstances possibly to beyond the means of your average Joe. Combine this with a slew of new 22 specific competitions cropping up and folks I believe we are looking at the newest gun fad starting up.
