I was at Cabelas today to get a refund on stuff and while I was walking by the gun racks, I saw an Arisaka for $199. The first thing I said to myself was, "What's wrong with it?" and now that I'm looking them up, it seems that's the going price of them.

I can't remember if this was a 7.7 Japanese chambered or it was one in the 6mm's, but 200 for a Japanese bolt action seems low to me, at least compared to what I'm seeing some Mosin Nagants going for.

I can understand the prices being low because the 7.7 Jap is not common ammo, but I'm a reloader so it's nbd for me.
