What is the last gun that you bought?

Springfield Armory M1A Standard with a green stock. A local chain had a one day only sale. $999.99, limit of 35. I went to the store early thinking there would be a line. I was second in line and got one of 2 on hand. I wasn't looking for another rifle but couldn't pass.
I didn't post back in October but I got a Tikka T3 Hunter in 6.5x55. That thing is a laser beam.
 
I just picked up a Uberti "Colt" Cattleman revolver in .32-20 (A "Peacemaker" style revolver) and a Colt Burgess carbine (also Uberti) in .44-40 caliber. I think I am going to really like the carbine!
 
Ruger GP 100 6 inch blued 357 magnum as a pity present to myself for a business deal (my dream opportunity) that didn't go my way.

First revolver!

Man, I can relate. I had five years of those, caused by five years of ruthless people that left me in poverty in a cold climate.

My palliative was my SR9c.

Plus getting my 336 out of storage, and I'll never leave it behind again. Never.
 
CZ P01. My lady wants to learn to shoot and I've always liked this pistol. Thought it'd be a good place to start.

Wanted to take her to select her own but she has no knowledge and felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the choices. Thought that platform might be a good starter for her. Passed up a Colt Commander 1911 in 38 super. Realized that would have been more what I'd want. I'll be back for that one. Anyway. Thought the CZ fit the bill for her.
 
Did some horse trading to get a barely-used Steyr C9-A1. It's their "midi" model, which combines the shorter (3.6") "S" barrel with the full-size grip and 17+1 capacity of the larger "M" and "L" models. I have a damaged wrist and the Steyr's grip angle and low bore axis were the main draws for me. Having tried the trapezoidal sights, I like! They do take some getting accustomed to, but overall I am a very happy owner!

Nothing special, just a used, minty Tikka T3 in 22-250 I couldn't resist :)

And, walked a couple blocks over to another LGS, SCAR 17S, FDE color, used very little, for an unbelievable price. I wasn't looking for a SCAR, and won't be for a while since I bought this one.

All things considered, a good day :)
 
Last gun I bought.

Ruger Mini-14 Tactical 300AAC Blackout #5864,just had to have it.Had a mini-14 223,the 181 back in the late 70's.The 300 peaked my interest. Bought it today.
 
Got to learn to stay out of pawn shops. Now I'm searching for another set of obscure dies and brass.

1891 Argentine Mauser. Uncut, but some early user carved his own (shallow) version of checking into the stock.
 
^ That is a very nice model 586, indeed.


Just picked up a very lightly used first year production blued Single Ten. The deal was too good to let go. Should make a good utility .22 for knocking about.
