I bought a brand new rifle the other week, first one I've bought new since the 1990s, luckily it was about the same price as a quality secondhand rifle nowadays, even those have gone mad in gunshops.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Yes astonishing look at a new 97, then look at a new walnut tx or pro sport !
I remember buying a hw100 new around £700 ish they are over £1k now
Airgun Shooter magazine has a list of various bits of kit this month. I was amazed at the prices of pcps these days. Yes, you can get a pcp at the budget end of the list i.e. around the £500 mark but the number of rifles now costing £1200 and upwards is surprising. I looked at the listing and thought to myself that I was sadly out of touch. Being 'an old wrinkly' £1000 seems like a lot of money but maybe to the much younger generation it isn't. Maybe I should have realised this when I see adverts for kids' toys ... it seems nothing to pay around £100 these days.
Cheers, Phil
