i think that for the most part these dayze, pedersoli cartridge bp rifles are finally being recognized as not inferior and are commanding good resale value if in at least good condition. as such, one can save about $300 or so on a used one, IF a good one can be found. however, for $1100 to $1200 a new one can be had at DGW. as always, if to be used for bpcr/bptr a good sight system will be required along with assorted other accoutrements for shooting/cleaning, and cartridge making, and that alone can run durn near another $1k or so. ain't dis stuff fun?
