picked up a nice 1946 Marlin 39A with a Lyman 52 peep sight last week!
A Smith & Wesson Model 17 with target trigger and hammer. Like new with an 8 3/8" barrel.

S&W model 69, going to be dedicated to .44 special for my teenage grand daughter.

I picked up a Savage rascal for my 4yo son, and while I was there the guy asked if I had an interest in a Rossi .410/22 matched pair, I said sure...why not. All said $230 for everything and my son loves shooting at can with dad and Papa.
I bought a used Hi Point C9. Go ahead and make jokes. A couple months before it, I bought a new Taurus 605 stainless. Both are good little guns. Both shoot really good.

It was a while back now, but I added another Ballard "project rifle" to my single shot collection. It's re-stocked in maple and the barrel was sleeved into .22 calibre, but unfortunately it's in a centre-fire (haven't done a chamber cast yet, but best guess is that it's in .218 Bee). Since it's a "cast" action it would only be safe in .22 rimfire so will require either sleeving the chamber to .22 LR or another full length .22 sleeve, but at the price I paid for it it's worth rebuilding into a shooter. Projects ... so many "back burner" projects ... and not enough time or energy!
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
I would keep that a .218 Bee and load it with rimfire duplicate cast loads. It works real well in my .22 Hornets, I prefer it to .22 LR now for small game hunting. Haven't tried it yet in my .218, but I will. Can't be much different from the Hornet. That's a very cool rifle, by the way.

I was thinking about that too, but my concern would be that once I'm gone and the rifle changes hands someone with less knowledge of these old cast actions might try shooting some full house .218 Bee ammo in the rifle and destroy it. (There have been several cases where these old cast Ballard action failed with smokeless loads in calibres that they should never have been altered to.)
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Smith&Wesson model 629-6 stainless, like new. It will be used primarily for bullseye type target shooting as well as some magnum fun at the range.

Not an entire gun, but picked up a 12-inch .22 Hornet barrel for my T/C Contender a couple of weeks ago. Using iron sights and Hornady's 35-grain V-MAX ammo proved to be a real eye-opener... surpassing my every expectation. Lyman No.225450 and a moderate charge of Unique has also proved to be quite the little performer at only slightly shorter range than the Hornady ammo.
I picked up a used S&W Shield in 40 last week. Price was good and it came with a grundle of extra magazines. Looks to have been carried a lot and shot seldom. I like 40 S&W.
Ruger American Ranch in 5.56.
Not really a whole gun but I put a Shilen 1 in 7 twist 22/250 barrel on a long action Savage 110 I already had. Going to try .22 caliber at 1000 yds.
