Did people quit shooting 22's?
I seem to remember always seeing a few old Remington, Winchester, Savage Stevens, and Marlin bolt action 22's popping up in the gun shops. It just seems like they are much fewer.
For example - out of 5 stores - I found 1 JC Higgins Marlin single shot and 1 JC Higgins Marlin tube fed rifle. Found a couple old Winchester 67 and Remington 513 single shots.... Otherwise - it's all semi-autos... Marlin 39's NEVER show up anymore....
It's strange....
