Only bought one rifle in 2021, a Gen 1 Galil Ace in 5.56. Fantastic rifle, glad I got a Gen 1 while I could still find one at a very reasonable price.

A Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39.
I purchased it immediately after the Russian ammo import ban.
Reflects my general skill at timing.
To be fair, all the ammo I use is produced in the areas just West of Russia anyway.

Long guns in 2021 was an odd mix. Due to Covid issues with travel three I bought from a friends father's estate in 2020 I was not able to take possession of until 2021. A Winchester model 74 in .22, a Ruger 77 heavy barrel in .243, and a Remington 700 Classic in 270. Then for my birthday one of my brothers gave me a Glenfield model 60 and a Stevens 940 single shot in .410 he sort of inherited a few years back. Then there was the Savage "Campers Companion" in 22 over 20ga, and the M1 carbine with the Choate stock inherited from a friend who passed. Then the Winchester 06 22 and the Western arms '410 SxS that belonged to another old friend who fell victim to Covid and were purchased from his sister (they were his grandfathers guns). Then another Stephens 940e in 20ga a friend of my sisters had given her as a wall hanger (perfectly functional) and she gifted me due to a move.
So 2021 was a split of gifts and purchases. Not anticipating a lot in 2022 since I'm not looking for anything. But I wasn't last year either!

My long-awaited Mossberg 352 finally presented itself to me at a gun show last year, and it did not disappoint, as the perfect match below shows. 170 bucks. Also won a Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor, but later in the year and couldn't find enough ammo to compare with, and so haven't shot it enough to be satisfied. I'll wait. Optic is an Arken SH-4.

Only one in 2021.

About six - a couple are probably going to be parts guns.
A couple are milsurps, another is an Arkangel Mosin, three others are old .22s.
Nothing remarkable.

Savage Model 14 American Classic, 300 WSM. It needed work and I got it cheap and did the work.

SKS. Took me two days to get the cosmoline off. Have it apart now trying to decide if I want to refurbish the original wood or get aftermarket replacement.
Hi Point .380 Carbine. Never ever thought I would buy a Hi Point but all the online reviews were pretty solid. The .380 APC in a carbine sounded interesting so I went with that. This is at 50 ft shooting Sig 90 gr V Crown. 50 feet is max limit of my LGS indoor range.
Hi Point carbine on the right next to my CZ Scorpion.
Bought this SDS Bullpup 12ga just because I wanted something different that I could accessorize. 10 rd after market magazine, budget red dot. Aftermarket foregrip with light and laser.

@tuckerdog1, my first ever personally owned firearm is a Mossberg 500 12 gauge given to me by my wife about 35 years ago. I may part with it someday when I have a grandson or granddaughter who will appreciate it, but not until then.

I'm with you on guns that are gifts. Those never get sold or traded.

Bought a couple...an 1858 Remington revolving rifle because I only had one, and a second was available. Already had an extra .45 Colt conversion cylinder for it. The missus enjoys her .22 Wrangler, so when I saw a Heritage .22 revolving carbine I couldn't resist it. She enjoyed shooting it, too, until it broke. (Just got it back from Heritage.) I think it's a blast.
