Winning a Firearm

[Praxidike]

I frequent several firearms threads and have seen a few people mention that they or a friend or family member has won a firearm. I'm curious to know if anyone on the board has won one and if so, where at?

I won an Anschutz 1416 at the smallbore silhouette Southern Nationals at Winnsboro, LA in 2010. Sad to say that it was in a drawing rather than because of my shooting. . .

In about 1997, I won a Glock 26 in a raffle limited to those of us who were range officers at a Glock sanctioned match in Colorado.

 

[MustGoFaster]

I won a Mossberg 930 Waterfowl in a fund raiser raffle for a local sportsman's club.

 

[Sam1911]

I won my Springfield xDM9 in the Staff drawing at an IDPA Sanctioned match up in Wilkes Barre, PA a few years ago.

 

[BCRider]

One of the few desirable things I've won in my life was my Henry Golden Boy at my club's big annual cowboy event.

 

[Outlaw Man]

I won a "SHOT Show special" carbon fiber-finished Browning Hi Power in a raffle at a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation banquet a couple years ago.

 

[erkman]

Won a Remington 887 Nitro-Mag from a raffle for the local Shriner's Club.

 

[tygranch]

I've been a Friends of NRA table sponsor for the last 17 years, and have won a total of two guns. A S & W 22A and a Kimber custom II, wife won a Ruger mark III. Could have bought these guns 20 times over, but it's a great cause.

 

[David E]

I've won several at USPSA, Single Stack Classic and IDPA matches.

It's always fun to win a gun!

 

[taraquian]

My wife won a smith 642 at friends of NRA a few years back. Like tygranch said could have bought it cheaper than what I have spent over the years, but its a good cause

 

[Gladius]

I won a Norinco SKS several years ago, at a raffle held at a Gun Show many years back (don't remember the name of the club or point of the raffle, all I remember is I won!). It was one of the first SKS's imported from China, including the attached folding spike bayonet. As far as free guns go, it's not bad!

Back in 1997 I was the lucky first prize winner of that years gun raffle put on by SCOPE, ( Shooters Commitee On Political Education ). Bought the tickets at a gun show like I usually do. They had the first prize gun right there on display and I was absolutely drooling over it while filling out my ticket stubs. A Ruger KM77VTMKII in .25-06. That's the target model and it also had a new 6-18x Burris Fullfield on it. Still have it and plan on it being part of my estate. It now has a Leupold 6-18x Vari-X II in Leupold rings (the Burris is now on a varmint rifle). Got the first two antelope of my life with it in 2003 (one at close to 325 yds) with its pet load. That's the only gun I ever won; I'm sure that over the years I've been buying tickets to win a gun that I've spent a lot more than what that Ruger would have cost me but hey; it's for a good cause.

 

[Liberty1776]

Me? Nuttin'... but my hunting buddy's son won three rifles in one night at the yearly church fundraiser...

 

[HKGuns]

Yes -2010 SCI banquet -Franchi AL48 28 gauge.

 

[Slotback]

Last year my name was drawn for either an Aimpoint Pro, which was good enough for me

 

[Grassman]

I've won three guns in raffles. First one was the duck hunters package about 20 years ago at a Ducks Unlimited banquet, Remington 870 waders and a bag of decoys. Second was also a Ducks Unlimited banquet about five years ago and that was a Glock 19 on a $5 raffle ticket. The last gun I won was three or so years ago at a Turkey Federation banquet, and that was a Remington 1100 20 gauge, which also happen to be the NWTF gun of the year, with gold insignia in the receiver of the gun. I don't plan to shoot that gun, so yes I've been pretty lucky.

Friends of the NRA Dinner, won a S&W M&P40(no manual safety). One of the last to purchase a card from the boobie girl walking around. Best $20.00 for a Two of Clubs I ever spent.

 

[Black Butte]

I won a compound hunting bow at a rodeo in Oregon. You were automatically entered into the raffle with your numbered parking ticket stub.

 

[dprice3844444]

won a sw9ve 9mm pistol at a gunshow w/2mags..smith had a 2 free extra 16 rd mags promotion going on

 

[JR24]

Won an 887 Express and a .17 HMR at various raffles.

Bought several guns of other winners for great prices too.

 

[Hardtarget]

I couldn't win a piece of rust left over from last weeks yard sale.

However, my brother in law won two Ruger 10-22 rifles, (over the course of a summer), and gave them to my sons for Christmas one year. He could shoot those pistols!

You guys that win guns...congratulations!

[double bogey]

Won a Mathews featherlight bow in a fundraiser raffle. I bought 3 $1 tickets. No guns though.

 

[stressed]

Must be some major luck in here. Never won. Bought a bunch of raffle tickets though, I'm just that guy that helps pay for said gun.

Years ago my father won a .22 Lorcin pistol. He knew it was absolute junk, os he soldered some large fishing hooks on the slide, and made a dandy shark lure from it. Worked great for a few years, but now it rests deep in the channel.
