Probably this.
The market seems kinda flooded at the moment, plus the gun owners feeling "safe" with the current president. If the political winds change next year and the "other side" takes control, there will be a complete panic and nothing will stay on the shelves and prices will skyrocket.
But right now I would blame complacency.
Also, with the prices on modern sporting rifles these days, pretty much anyone who wanted one, has one by now, and most have multiple. So now there is a large supply and low demand.
It must be regional as it does not seem to have hit around my parts. Prices are still holding steady and/or higher than normal. Gunshows seem packed, always a line to get in, prices there are still crazy and sometimes make you laugh. Not even seeing any low priced bolt actions either on the local armslist. Gunbroker does not seem as affected either (at least peoples asking prices) While they might not be selling, they seem unwilling to reduce their prices to move them.
