Rifle PRICES!

[pedroeguiguren]

I just checked the prices on Air ARms PCPs!
WOW If my memory served me well I recall the S410 been around 600 bucks or 700. but over 1000$ as I just checked at pyramydair????
Is this OK? or prices just went up??
same thing for the RWS 350 it around 422!! I saw it for 350 last year?

its either prices went up? or Im just going nuts!

When I bought my Beeman RX-1,  I paid $400.00 in 1992.  I could sell it in a minute for what I paid. Through the years guns have always been a good investment.

In 1992, could buy an once of gold for about $340.  It's moved up and down over the years, but today could get a little more than $900 for that ounce.

Prices are up but most have excellent resale value.  Look for used ones.       P

When I bought my FX Cyclone .22 in 2005, it cost me total. $850.00. Now thw same gun sells for well over $1200.00. Sure glad I bought her then cause there has been no changes made to the Cyclone to warrant price increase. Still exactly the same PCP..:) The nice thing is that I rarely shoot her and she probably only has about 600 rounds of lead pushed through her.

I think the prices have stayed more or less the same.  The exchange rate has changed.   You also have to remember that the rate of inflation is compound.  4% inflation for 5 years will increase the price of a rifle by 22%.  Add a weaked dollar to that and you have your answer.

The dollar is worth a lot less these days, this may have been a factor for Crosman getting into the PCP market. The weak dollar is going to give them a huge advantage in Europe.

Yeah the law of inflation really works fast on prices.  I only wish my pay and savings went up the same way LOL
