It is difficult to explain, since money was quite different then. A purchase of $50 was a MAJOR purchase then- since the average man would have worked for much of a year to get the $50. A good rifle might be the only gun that a person would buy in his lifetime, and pass that rifle on to a son as a valuable inheritance. Many of the rifles were made- one at a time- by hand. Later as gun making became more mechanized, the cost of a rifle would decrease. Think of the cost of a rifle as being similar to the cost today of a good used car.
