All good target guns are in the range of $1000 to $4000, with $2500 being average. That applies to both pistols and rifles.
If you want a 22 targert pistol, check out what the National Match people are using. Same for rifle.
Your should expect to pay about $900 for a second hand target gun, not the top of the line, but average.
Of course, if you have bo koo bucks, you can spend upwards of $25,000 on a gun

I play golf from time to time with my friends, I have a set of JC Penney Catalog Clubs that I paid $200 for 12-15 years ago. Should I get the latest set of Pings for that too?
Same goes for Raquetball, I have a $50 Sports Authority Raquet should I buy the best there is?
I truly do not think my lever action rifle will be holding me back anymore than my gold clubs or raquet do.
