How does the gun you bought 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago price compare to a gun bought today?
In 1994 I bought a Winchester M70 Classic, DBM, 7mm Rem Mag with controlled round feed for $550 which is $996 today with inflation. I’d buy it again today if it were available.
In 1998 I bought a Kimber Target II Limited stainless in 45 ACP for $750 which is $1235 today with inflation. I wouldn’t buy it today because so many better options are available for $1000. Been a great gun, though.
Yesterday I bought a Savage Axis II compact in 243 with a Bushnell scope for $470. The 243 barrel will come off and I will put on an ER Shaw barrel in 358 Winchester for $250. Twenty five years from now, would I buy again?
Yesterday I also bought a TC Venture II in 223 for $550 and it is getting an Athlon 2.5x15-50mm illuminated reticle scope $480. I’m betting it will be lights out to 500 yards, but again, time will tell.
How about you?
