in the States Malin 60 is about 160 while 10/22 is about 260, quite a big difference. here I think the difference is about 15%.
That must mean 10/22 is more popular then, if people are more willing to pay a bigger profit to the shops than Marlin. In fact more shops stock them should lead to more competition and therefore lower profit for 10/22 than Marlin.
I am not trying to decide which rifle should win the "rifle of the century" award. I am just saying 10/22 is the most popular semi 22 in New Zealand. For better or for worse people like it more here than the Marlin, it is that simple.
Not everyone does that, plenty of people do not shoot enough or care enough to find the best ammo. What they do is grab whatever they see and shoot for the weekend, then 6 month later go do shoot at a different place and buy some more last minute ammo. You may not care for ammo tolerance. That is completely fine (in fact, I personally do not either as all I shoot is CCI subs or SV). But there are many who find ammo intolerance annoying.
We have NZ's biggest 10/22 fanboy right here. Calm down bro - the thread is about the worst firearm you have ever owned.... for a lot of people that is a 10/22. Don't take it personally
