I’m really late to this party.
The CZ usa web site still shows a bunch still available, but I belatedly discovered they’re discontinuing a whole bunch of calibers. See the links in the top link and look in the Euro catalog. Rumblings of some big new offering? Push-feed only?
Along with CZ, Tikka stopped offering 204s, definitely in the the US and maybe worldwide? (Still shows up as a filtering option on their main site but not in their Selector site). And to the best of my knowledge Tikka’s never offered a 17 or 22 Hornet, which to me at least always seemed like a natural fit for them. Maybe they don’t like rimmed cases.
In the US, in 204 now there’s only Ruger, Savage, Thompson Center, Browning, and I think Howa and probably some small or boutique brands like Cooper. I’m unsure of the status of Remington production.
If CZ doesn’t import their thumbhole 17 Hornet there will be only Ruger and Savage.
I cannot believe CZ stopped making a 22 Hornet! Thank god I can still buy it in a Savage
.I’m sure I’ve missed some offerings, like in the Euro guns, like Anschutz and Weihrauch. Let us know what you find.
I’m glad I have this area already covered, but what the heck? I guess there’s only room in this big world for 22 LR, 223, 6.5 manbun and 30Hate. Kidding! (sob!)
I understand the law of supply and demand.
I’m posting this to inform and for the like-minded to commiserate, not for a spellbinding macro-economics soliloquy from the peanut gallery. (But I still
you up there in the nose-bleed seats)
