I think the problem is Americans allow themselves to be programmed to buy disposable consumer items. Almost every major gun company now markets entirely disposable firearms to us. Cheap things you probably won't fix if they break, just buy new. How many times do you read a post from someone with 50+ firearms? How many people owned 50+ firearms 100 years ago? I don't think Vanderbilt collected so many.
The guns with fit and finish that match those of 30 or 50 years ago are still out there, just expect to pay for it.
Ruger American, a 1 MOA rifle in 308 is $352 from buds gun and I can get a $10 transfer. $362 OTD and in my hands.
That is equal to:
$235 in 1995
$165 in 1985
$83 in 1975
$48 in 1965
$41 in 1955
What were you guys paying for 1 MOA rifles at those times? What kinds of rifles could you buy for those amounts at those times?
