Me? Eleven. Sorry, not going to list them all here. Actually, I'm a little embarrassed it's that many. Maybe I need some therapy. Definitely going to take it easier in 2022. Only one so far.

I purchased a 1980 Savage 99A in .308 in excellent condition and a 1955(+/-) Savage 755a (steel receiver) in 12 gauge that has surface scratches in the stock and a broken butt plate. Other than that it is perfect but somewhat of a tank.

I'm on a wood and metal hunt as I close in on 70. A left-handed R788 in 243 and a LH 22-250 in 700, 70 or 77 and I think I'm done. Unless I trip over a Ruger #1 in that I always fancied one of those.

same as the handgun thread..

Bought a Henry lever 22lr. For my son. He’s not of age so it’s mine until he turns 18 and proves he’s not a turd. So far so good with the whole not being a turd. Also bought myself a red Ryder BB gun for giggles.

I feel your pain. I'm not sure how many I've bought. Probably 5 or 6. And similar in 2020.
A few.

Uberti Talyor 1866

Chiappa Spencer.

I bought a used 22 lr. Remington 572.

CZ 457 .22lr
Browning citori CX 12 gauge

I only bought three long guns in 2021; two in January and one in July.

The January ones were a nice CZ 455 Lux in .22 LR. I’ve never had a nice bolt action .22, mine have all been more utilitarian (A 581 Rem and a Ruger American rimfire to be exact).



And a knock-arounder Stoeger Condor 12 ga O/U shotgun. This was on sale for under $300 bucks, I figured even if I hate it I probably wouldn’t lose much $$ if I sold it later.



The last gun I bought was a Rossi 62A .22 LR pump with an octagon barrel. It reminded me so much of the Winchester.22 pump I cut my teeth on as a kid, I just couldn’t say no to bidding enough to win it.



My handgun purchases were kind of out of control last year. I think I went a bit hog-wild in that category.

Stay safe.

I bought a (very) used Remington model 11 in 12 gauge, and I was gifted a early 70's Win 94 30-30 and a Mossberg 500 with a broken stock and safety (looked like it was either used as a club or thrown out of a window) that I repaired with the help of Numerich and a THR member.

Express 870 and a trashed Savage 95 commemorative. First is already in the working stable and second is months away from being presentable.

A Hatsun 95 .22 pellet rifle

A unfired '94 Winchester SRC 30-30

A Handi-rifle in 7mm-08

No new long guns for me, my new focus is doing some modifications on existing guns.

This is technically not done yet, project started last March:



Rem M7 in .260Rem that I had PacNor rebarrel with one of their 20" "Supermatch" 1-8" 3 groove barrels using a Bartlein 2B profile. I also had the barrel & bolt fluted, and had the bolt handle skeletonized. I also had the package Cerakoted in "Graphite Black". The rifle already had a Timney trigger, and I bought a new Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36 with CDS dial for it. At the same time I ordered a Manners MCH-EH8 stock which is their classic REM M7 stock.

The above and stock has been sitting at my smiths since late DEC to be bedded. Total weight of the parts comes in a slightly under 7lbs. All said in done I'll have about $3K tied up in it.

So since that one's wrapping up, I ordered another Manners MCH-EH8 for my Rem M7MS in .350RM. It's got the 20" Rem Mag profile barrel on it and the weights of the barreled actions are close. As it is now it's a sub MOA rifle with 200grn Hornady's and 225 Nolser Partitions, the plan is to have the barreled action Cerakoted and bedded in the Manners stock. I'll hand onto the mannlicher stock, just in case I decided to sell the rifle, but I am looking forward to shaving some weight on this rifle.

A Ruger #3 in .219 DW.

Out of my own curiosity I just checked my records for 2021 firearms purchases. I came up with 21 long guns. Haven't bought any for awhile. Starting to get the shakes. There is an auction on Saturday so maybe I can get some relief.

I almost went through withdrawl in 2021. I only bought 3 new long guns and rebuilt an old Remington 788 into a 6mm Creedmoor tack driver.
1) Tikka T1X
2) Anschutz 1761 HB
ETA: 3) Mauser M18 in .243 Win.

I bought another AR last year and a Remington 40X action that I built a short barreled 308 out of. And I rebarreled another Remington 700. And bought 2 Nightforce scopes.

Do PCC’s count??

Straight-up long guns: Sig M400 TREAD and H&K MR 556.
PCC’s: H&K SP5, USC/UMP conversion, Sig MPX K
No Man’s Land: Eternal Arms BP12 shotgun

Only the one, but is was on sale and hard to resist:

I have been wanting a rifle in 6.5 Creedmore for a while now and I was considering having my Remington 700 re-barrelled when I came across a Savage Axis XP for sale. That has been my only firearm purchase for 2021.

Henry 4570 in steel

There is already a thread on "Handgun Purchases in 2021" so lets keep this as long guns, (i.e. Rifles, Shotguns, etc.). I purchased three Long Guns in 2021. How about you??
KelTec SU16 in .223/5.56. I love the way it folds up into a compact unit. Shoots very accurately as well.

I've been looking for a lever action rifle for my favorite handgun caliber of .41magnum. I finally found this Henry Golden Boy Large Loop Carbine.

Savage Mark 2 FV in .22lr. This gun is a true budget tack driver

I have the old kel tec sub 2000 in 9 mm that folds in half. Fun little gun but really needs a cheek rest with iron sights

I don't buy many long guns but I did get a new HK MP5 22 and a 1943 Saginaw M1 Carbine in 2021.

A T/C Pro Hunter
A Winchester Model 94
A Remington Model 81
A US Springfield 1903 NRA Sporter

Think my AK was 2020...
But I got my first AR, also in 7.62x39:


and a S&W AR22 set up as similar as I could to match.
