My very first long gun was a 1929 Ishevsk octagonal barreled Mosin Nagant. Consider it used. It's now costs three times what I paid but it's fun to shoot and I still have half the ammo I got with it. I hit the 8x10 target at 265 yards with iron sights and figure it's better than my old eyes let me be. Twenty rounds into a target and it's done for the day.
My LGS has great deals online. I bought my first pistol, a Ruger P345, over the counter used LNIB. It fits me extremely well and I'm quite accurate with it. Then I got a Neos new because used cost as much at the time. Then I got my Remmy 870 LNNB (no box but a cloth cover) on line & picked up in store. I doubt either used modern guns had more than 8 rounds through them. No issues ever with them. Then I got a Kahr PM 45 used in excellent condition on line and picked it up at the store. It was a one owner trade that was two years old. I worked through a feed ramp issue which may have been why it was traded back in. I had one severe jam issue but I believe it was a bad cartridge case. It's an excellent CC choice which was why I bought it.
Used guns have been pretty reliable except as noted and I look for used first.
