Hello,
Did these things always cost $250.00?

Both Dakota's and Galazan's butt plate prices went through the roof with their newest catalogs this month. A member of this board, HST, makes buttplates and is cheaper. I have handled his skeleton plates and they are very good. Next one I buy will be from him. If you search this forum you can find info and pics of his plates

I have had good luck with Biesens.
