Bought a Rem 742 ADL in 30.06 back in the early 70's. It $ucked. It was the only rifle that I could not zero in 35 years. Must have had a bad crown or something. Dumped it.......:mad:
 
XD-40 4" barrel, bought in 2002, paid $469 for it. I love it, 3000 rounds downrange and its very accurate, no malf's.
 
Had a few gifts starting in 1969, but first one I bought was at College in 1981...Ruger Security Six .357 Mag.

Remington 878 12 ga in '58. We ordered it from somewhere. I think, but memory could be way off, it was $48. Still have it, but it has a broken piece that is basically irreparable.

I had owned other guns before this, but the very first on that I ever bought off of the shelf on my own was a 6" S&W Model 19 .357 Magnum. Bought it brand new for $225.00 the day after my 21st birthday.
 
1st rifle

Hey ScottG, that's a great rifle that .308 Savage . I had mine for 2 years with the accu-trigger it's an awesome rifle, especially for the price for it.:D
 
First one I ever paid for with my own money was a Ruger .22 Standard Auto when I was 16. Of course I had to give the money ($71 with tax) to Dad since I was too young to buy it myself. First one I ever purchased on my own with my own money. Hmmm...that's kind of tough. I'm betting it was a Ruger Mini 14.
 
First gun I bought myself & filled out the paperwork, was a Remington 870 in 20 gauge about 3 1/2 years ago. I still use it for trap
 
I bought one used 9 mm pistol and one milsurp 9 mm pistol first but my first NEW gun was a Saiga 12. So far the score is 5 used, 6 new.
 
Rifle un-issued Tula 1953 SKS. I paid $199.00 in 1998.
Handgun Glock 19. $439 in 1999.
Shotgun Mossburg 590 in 1999. I don't remember how much, but probably too much.
 
Mossberg 346B-22 LR -- $28 and I still have it

second--Savage 219-22 Hornet-and I got rid of it about 3 yrs ago. Trigger was 9#. Not good on a Hornet.
