When did UTG get so pricey?

Just looking at the prices, and wow I was surprised. I have had a couple of Bugbusters and really like them but at 139-179.00 seems to high. Both the ones I have had (still have one) have the same issue. The Ocular focus ring gets loose, place a tight fitting rubber band on it for a quick fix. I noticed a post three below this one, that they have American made rings in there line up. Any thing else American made by UTG? They have some nice options, just seem higher priced that they should be.
