VinVega,

It is called the demand/supply curve. As the demand increases for a product and/or the supply goes down, the cost usually goes up. The thing with the firearms industry is that only a certain number of rifles are sold every year, so I seriously doubt that any manufacturer is having a problem meeting the demand. The only problem they have is in forecasting what the demand will be.

Okay, I am completely off track, but I loved economics class in undergrad, just didn't love it enough to pursue it as a career.

Now, with that all said, when the Beretta 391 Teknys sporting clays shotgun came out, I had the hardest time finding one. I received a quote from somebody for $1,250, but they could never get the gun in. Ended up seeing it on a shelf for $1,350 and I just bought it. It has been the best shotgun I have ever shot (i.e., it fits me great).
