Made in Japan. Is that good, or does that mean you expect the gun to cost less? Howas and Weatherby Vanguards cost less, and they're nice rifles. I don't know.
Auto 5: Irrelavant. Hasn't been made for years. Neat-o design, appeals to people who want their guns to be busier than they are, and if you've shot one you know what I mean.
BAR: Gold standard. No one will dispute that. Price is low, when you start looking around at the few guns with which it competes.
BT-99: No competition. Sells well. I have one. Simpler design than a NEF Topper, but beautifully finished. Should be possible to compete; Ithaca, are you listening?
BLR: No competition. You want a lever gun that shoots high-powered or magnum rounds, you have to get a BLR. Gloss finish is pretty in the shop, assinine in the field. Otherwise, a NICE gun. The best of old-West handling combined with modern rounds and accuracy. I should have bought one instead of my bolt-action hunting rifle.
A-bolt: Hardly ever see them. They shoot, they feed, they shoot. Howa/Weatherby, Remington, CZ, Savage, et al. make guns that serve just as well, sometimes for far less money. You decide, but if someone says Brownings are overpriced, they're probably talking about their bolt actions.
BPS: Overweight, but the cheapest gun in its class (all-steel, polished blue). Compared to its only competition, a Wingmaster or Ithaca 37, it's not at all expensive, just heavier than the competition (a black mark IMO, but others differ). Hardly ever see them, either.
Gold: Expensive. A good gun, according to its fans. No more expensive than Beretta or Benelli, definitely more than a Remington 11-87. Also a tad heavy. Not a bargain, but not out of line, either.
.22s: No real competition, except for Buckmark pistol, which holds its own. Their guns are unique. They aren't cheap. You like them, or you don't, but it would be hard to say if they're overpriced, or not. The BL-22 has one real competitor, and neither gun is cheap.
