Guns are ridiculously cheap, in historical terms, when you use constant dollars to take inflation and earning power into account.
Model 60 .22 in 1970 was $42.95.
Constant dollars from 1970 to present have a ratio of 6.5 to 1.
That is $279 in todays dollars.
I saw a stainless steel model in Walmart the other day for $200.
They’re ridiculously expensive when you consider how easily and routinely they are lost forever in tragic boating accidents.
