I had a look at the used guns website and second guns seem to have appreciated in price considerably. Why pay so much above what was the original purchase I have no idea. Especially all these crappy plastic stocked mass produced stuff. Maybe I'm out of touch. I won't be buyingmuch anymore at those prices.

Not sure why some rifle sold for $1000 is now worth $3000 ?

Pedersoli prices?

The au website doesn't list new prices. $15,000 IMO is ridiculous. Second hand prices for a breech loading DR seem around A$2000 to A$7000. I suppose all .45/70. I see .450 NE is also listed now.

Where did you see $15,000 listed?
