Varminter,

The prices **have** gone up. I'm surprised, in a way, that hard times have not shaken loose the huge numbers of collector-grade, but otherwise quite common Swedes and other milsurp that are sitting in gun safes all over the US.

10 years ago a primo, all-matching Swede was $100. At $450 the Swede is still a bargain. It will outshoot, out of the box, any standard-producton Winchester or Remington sporting rifle you can get. You can take it to the range and prove it all day.

And it will probably never depreciate.

enjoy!
