Value increase of out of production rifles
#58950 - 18/06/06 12:08 AM

If Searcy (or anybody else making entry level rifles today)stopped making rifles tomorrow would the value of his rifles take a sudden jump as there would then be a finite number? Much as old Brit rifles are highly valued , even though the quality may not be as good as rifles now in production.

I see an increase in the value of Thys Rifles and they are only out of production 4 years.

Look at the value of Winchesters now.

I think the value of Searcy's guns will increase upon his death or retirement. The price of his new guns continue to increase and that helps the used ones retain and possibly increasae in value.

Your right about the Winchesters.....particularly in DG calibers!!

The price of Searcy rifles has already risen. Just 4 years ago, a new Searcy field grade brought $7K, but now a used one brings $9K.

Current values of recently-produced Winchesters are not likely to hold up as that gap is filled by other makers.

The gap created by no more "WINCHESTER" rifles --- will be very difficult to fill unless the replacements have the "WINCHESTER" name on them somewhere.
