In the winter of 2001 I bought a new Marlin 1895M chambered in .450 Marlin.
Obviously it’s been a while but I think the price of the gun was about 400ish dollars. I’m certain it was under 500 bucks out the door with a box or 2 of shells and taxes.

The other day I happened to notice one identical to mine on Gun Broker, it was selling for quite a pretty penny. I got looking at some others and they’re frequently SELLING for 900+ dollars.
I understand how inflation works, but that’s more than double the price, am I missing something.
I mean, for one it doesn’t really matter because I’m not selling the gun I do hunt with it occasionally, but if anything I’d have thought it would have went down, being .450 Marlin. As you know it didn’t really take off.
Does anyone know why they’ve gone up so much?
