I don't know about that... I just spoke with a friend who is in the auction business and he claims guns are hot property! Granted he doesn't typically see large caliber Dangerous Game rifles, double rifles, or highly bespoke guns. But he does get some nice mid caliber rifles, collectable stuff, nice shotguns and pistols. He did say the common black rifles are a dime a dozen.
I wish someone told the sellers Ive been buying from about this "crash" cause I aint seeing it nor has my wallet.
Interesting uou bring up auction. In person auctions are high. I have a theory. It seems to be old guys who don’t do online anything. They are seeing guns they are not used to seeing coming out of collections of other old guys who died. Gunbroker and many state forums I’m on are not selling. Gbroker prices are down 30% from earlier this year on all but few niche items. Also a lot or wealth that doesn’t care but overall things are down 30% in price and way way more in overall demandI don't know about that...

He made the statement that metals are always in demand when the economy goes backwards. Silver, Gold, copper, brass, lead, and blued steel
If it was a 375 H&H I really doubt it would be less than double the price
That would require it be built on a Magnum Action instead of the 30-06 sized action.
