A new Winchester Model 94 in 32 Winchester Special. A sporter model. Just now working up loads with coated MS bullets. They made them only two years in this configuration, 2018-2019 I believe. I waited for three years and it showed up like magic.

A new Ruger 10-22 with wood stock, purchased for a Project Appleseed shoot (the rifle nearly paid for itself when you considered the difference in cost for 500 rounds of .22LR vs 500 rounds of .223). Bought summer of 2020 when it was nearly impossible to find, and paid $100 (or about 50 percent) more than they were selling for a year prior. Having owned centerfire rifles, I never thought I wanted a .22LR--until I had one. Added a Hornet Custom trigger assembly and peep sight for a sweet little shooter.

3 days ago I acquired a Uberti 1878 Remington clone in 45 Colt!
A Mauser in 7 x 64 Brenneke. I am seeing a lot of older Husqvarna rifles on the market these days. The story is that in Sweden the maximum number of guns you can own is 4 ! So if someone wants of buy a new rifle they have to get rid of an existing gun. I see lots of old 9.3 x 57's. 9.3 x 62's in small and large ring Mausers and 8x58RD in rolling blocks. Lots of 9.3x62 ammo being carried by dealers now that was uncommon in the past.
I picked up a pair of Remington 788's from a gun show. 7mm08 and 22-250. The guy made me a "deal" I couldn't refuse.
In the mid 1980s, te big shop in Sydney had a 7mm/08 788 in the window for a couple of years. I was in a stage of poverty with kids, trying to buy a house, etc and couldn't afford it. I told a mate and he bought it. It was a very accurate rifle.
I now have 788s in 222 and 22.250. Both vert accurate rifles.
The 788s are almost a cult gun as they always punch above their weigh.

Pietta 1860 Sheriffs model, first black powder revolver, I may have cut my own throat (again..) by getting into black and BP cartridge shooting. Started reloading 45 years ago to save money…..you know how it works…

I started reloading in 1971 I think it was (to save money). I have been in the process of going broke saving money ever sinceOriginally Posted by Tazman1602

I've been oogaling over auction pictures of those browning 53's for years now but have yet to shell out the $$$ needed to bring one home. I've yet to see one in person at a gun shop. but they sure are very fine rifles
Strange after 50+ years of shooting 1911. I bought a SA Range Officer in 9 m/m. Strange seeing that little hole in the end. Hopfully warm up about zero so I want to try it out. GW
I can pretty well guarantee you will like it. I have owned one now for several years. Great accuracy, great function, and it just works right out of the box.
You get used to the smaller hole after a while.
Mine does well with cast boolits.
