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:
“Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There is a striking dichotomy between the behavior of many women in their lives at work and in their lives as mothers. Many of the same women who are battling stereotypes on the job, who are up against unspoken assumptions about the roles of men and women, seem to accept—and in their acceptance seem to reinforce—these roles at home with both their sons and their daughters.”
—Ellen Lewis (20th century)
