It depends
Quality sure seems to have taken a beating with a lot of modern firearms even with much higher prices. That is exactly why I shop the used gun racks. Years ago, firearms displayed better examples of craftsmanship, decent wood and guns that were built to last.
I hunt and shoot my guns and take very good care of them. I believe is is possible to have working guns that still look great. Folks cannot believe that my Krag sporter is over 100 years old and looks like new. All the best...
