I can go out and buy a good .22 lr for under $200. I can go and buy a good 12g shotgun for about $300. I can buy a AR15 or AK47 for under $1000. Most decent airgun are $500-1000. And high end airgun $1500-2500. Really? Is it the labor, the parts, or just the brand name that makes them expensive. The most expensive airgun I spend was $2000 and that's the impact x. And then compressor and tank added and cost is over $4000 ready to shoot, airgun shooting is more than my car.
