Southwest1, the only problem with what you believe to be true is that rimfire rifles are cheaper to produce than centerfire rifles. To simplify things for you, rifles that make a big bang must be made bigger & stronger than rifles that make a small bang.
That said, I do own a Sako .17hmr which does sell for considerably more than some budget centerfires, but the cost of ammunition had little to do with my decision to purchase this rimfire.
