So I finally got my H&R repro Trapdoor. Since then I've watched a few movies that feature Sharps rifles pretty prominently. Django, Outlaw Josie Wales, Quigley, etc. and I realized something. I have to have a Sharps. Then I started looking at what they cost. Then I started looking at other single shots like the Rugers and they're all roughly $1k plus. Why? Is it because there is such little demand for them that companies have to get a premium for them to justify their production? It seems to me like a single shot would be more simple to make than a nice bolt action. I mean I can understand it somewhat with Sharps. The dual triggers, good sights and better than average wood you see on them and all. even a mini Sharps in .22 is crazy expensive.
Any input?
