Market Acceptance
The .17 HMR was an instant success when it came out, but the .17 HM2 hasn't been out long enough for its success to be judged. Part of the .17 HMR's success may have been due simply to the uniqueness of the first mass manufactured .17 caliber rimfire (.17 Aguila was first, but never mass manufactured), an advantage the .17 HM2 doesn't have. However, the .22 Long Rifle outsells the .22 WMR by a huge margin, and if the .17 HM2 can build on that success, it has the potential to go far.

Famous quotes containing the words market and/or acceptance:
“To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“I greet thy love,
Not with vain thanks, but with acceptance bounteous.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
