Unfortunately, costs are increasing across the board. Ammunition has seen three price increases since October. Firearms are increasing by wild percentages. A Beretta 92FS which used to cost $700.00 is now $959.00. Higher end guns such as a Grade I Citori have seen dramatic raises due in part to the higher quality wood used on those guns, as well as the lack of craftsmen to fabricate and assemble those guns. We would like to keep our price as low as possible, but when the manufacturer or distributor increases their costs, we have no choice to but to elevate our prices in order to maintain a viable profit margin to keep our staff paid, our lights on, and our doors open.
Cheers!
