Howdy! Maybe it is just me or have prices for anything related to black powder gone up? I got a catalog from Cabela's the other day and it seems that inline rifles are around $400 and up. A few years ago they were about $200.00. Also, you used to be able to get a good cap and ball pistol for about $125 a few years ago. Now some are in th $200 to $300 range. Always, Gene
