I’ve been over here a month.
Visited many gun and sporting goods shops.
The use of non tox renders old guns useless.
Many investment grade guns are being sent to auction in the south.
Many auction estimates are in the toilet.
Boomers are done buying, the market is collapsing.
It doesn’t help that Brownings last 3 shooting lifetimes for most.
Shops are full of them.
Oh, and a country side typically loaded with stocked birds is as empty as the Sahara. (Bird flu, Brexit)
I’ve stayed in premium shooting hotels across Scotland, and they are mostly empty.
It’s pretty bleak up here.
I’m making a currency play, and am moving my shooting budget over here for the next few years.
The BP hasn’t been so weak since the last time we jacked up interest rates. Early 80’s.
