Is this good pricing for a BC?

I thought for sure I'd be able to find the answer to this question with the search function, but I did not.  A local shop here has 5 Buffalo Classics.  Well, 4 plus one of the fancy Golden ones.  3 are used and they start at $260 and range up to a little over $300 ($320 perhaps?) for the new regulars and ~$400 for the Golden whatever-it's-called.  Is that about right/in-line with what you guys see?

Sounds about right to me. 

Any chance that shop is in Western PA??

  Sorry, it's in Idaho.  Thanks for the quick reply!

They aren't always easy to find, but they sell for $300 to $350 new, a couple have sold for $250-$275 here in the classifieds, Sportsmans Warehouse sells em for $300, although they haven't had one recently, they might have gone up since I last saw one there a couple months ago.  There's always Walmart.....maybe!!

I guess I've just always been to the wrong places.  I'm new to this town where I live now, but this is the first time I've ever seen a BC in real life.  No shops anywhere I've ever lived or even visited have ever had one.  When I tried to get one a few years ago, all the shops where I lived looked at me like I was the village idiot for even asking about this rifle; they had never heard of them and couldn't find them in their ordering catalogs or anything.  I ended up getting the BC barrel and sights as an accessory.  Anyway, I'm glad to know I live in a place where things are stocked and that this shop's pricing is about right.  They are a purely local shop but have a very large and varied inventory (as big or maybe bigger than the Sportsman's Warehouse in town), and I particularly enjoy the Class III counter.  That 1928 Thompson calls my name every time I'm in there, but having a house to live in is still a slightly higher priority.

Since Mississippi changed their primitive firearms season a year ago to include the NEF/H&R rifles .38 cal and bigger as legal, the .45-70 has been in short supply nationwide, seems that way any way. The 45-70 Handi and BC are great rifles, I have 2 of each, one of the BCs is rechambered to .45-120, lots of fun to shoot, the .45-70 is probably the second most popular H&R caliber next to the .223, everyone needs at least one!!!
