You'd think with ammo still being scarce the prices will not go up.
I bought my kids a Marlin 795 for something like $145 a few years back. It was at a full price with a (crappy) scope. Only paid the full price because I had a Dunham's gift card so it came out below $100. I believe some other major stores had it around $130 or so.
Since they are now fighting over who gets to shoot it first, I decided to get a second one.
The same rifle, same store - $179 with scope. At Bass and Cabela's, $160 without scope. Cheaper than dirt - $155.
So, that's an American made rifle (so can't blame the workers' raising wages), in a caliber that's hard to get and a lot of people said they are walking away from it. And the price is up by 25% in just 2 or 3 years ? The Glock that I bought back in 2011 still costs the same today.
*** is going on ? OK so extra $40 won't bankrupt me but... why ?
