From what I saw it was an industry wide happening.
One reason I think this happened was because metal costs had gone sky high and the gun makers were having to pay for this and also forecast into their year long pricing?
I bought a Rem 700 in October of 2007. Same gun one year later was about $150 more. January 1 of 2009 I believe CZ increased costs about $100-$200 depending on the gun.
Maybe also supply/demand? Kinda with what happened on the ammo and reloading stuff?
