Why would you have issues with paying over $300 for a rimfire? Does it take less resources to manufacture a rimfire? If it takes the same resources to manufacture a rimfire as it does a centerfire, I never understood why rimfires were cheaper in the first place.

Grew up buying almost any .22lr rifle or pistol for under $150,
and I'm only 45.

Cracked the $300 mark twice...once on a Calico pistol,
the other on a Grendel R-31 rifle...both at $350...but well worth it
100 rounds per mag (Calico) & 30 per mag (Grendel) seemed a
fair enough option to warrant the extra cash...

The rest of my collection has been fairly inexpensive...under two bills...
pawn shops & Yard sales providing the vast majority of items...

My centerfire collection has a general $500 limit, but most have cost me far less than that...
the most expensive so far being the Glock 20 w/5 mags at $500 couple years ago...
10mm with five mags?? Yeah, I can justify that
second most expensive being my S&W CS45 at $450 this year...
the rest have been picked up between $200-300...and that includes a Luger

There are literally millions of guns out there...and always folks willing to part with 'em
when cash gets short, or lack of interest, or when convictions cause fast sales...
Plus, I love to fix beat-up/broken/rusty old guns...I'll take a beater
and turn it into a nice shooter, on my budget it works

And there are so many nice pistols & rifles out there waiting for a new home...
most just need a little Fluff & Buff and Tweaking to reach their potential...
heck, same could be said for a lot of more expensive 1911's


So I'll remain a cheapskate, and have all the fun stuff I want!!

Cheapskate is the wrong term, I would use Smart!! Why pay msrp + when a little searching can provide the same item at a significant saving, I can always use the money for more ammo! Be Safe,
