I have an old Remington 514 single shot that I take out at times. Great accurate shooter. I also had a 512, but gave it to a family member who was "rifle poor." I've always been on the lookout for a 510 Match version....and one of those Russian Olympic rifles....and one of those.....oh forget it!
I haven't kept up with the prices, but even without increasing scarcity, I'm sure the nominal value is much higher than what it cost over 40 years ago. I don't know what it cost back then as it was a gift from my father. My father had an FFL and sold ammo in his grocery store but I was really the one that had an interest in guns. However, when I look back on the choices he made every gun he bought was good quality and most are still in production today. Those that aren't in production, like the Nylon 66 and the Colt Woodsman, still have a following.
