[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3415562, member: 13337"] Okay,,, This was the first gun I bought when I got back into shooting about thirteen years ago. S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpiece,,, Pristine condition, in the box, with wrapping paper, and tools [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/aarondgraham.com_pics_stella_lr.jpg[/IMG] I paid $500.00 for the gun "out the door". That might not seem like a lot but it was to me,,, I had been a poor but honest college boy for the last seven years,,, Spending "half a grand" on anything other than school/books/tuition made my spine tingle. So far the most I've spent on a single gun was,,, $750.00 for an excellent 6" Colt Trooper Mk-III in .22 LR. I'm retiring at the end of this year,,, I've been "window shopping" for a retirement rifle,,, It will probably be the last big ticket firearm I will ever purchase. What I'm looking for is an exotic .22LR single-shot rifle of some ilk,,, I promised myself I won't "cheap-out" on this big purchase,,, But some of the rifles I'm looking at run around $1,600. To tell the truth though,,, I'm not sure I can make myself spend that much. But this [URL='https://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/model-1885/model-1885-current-products/model-1885-low-wall-hunter-rimfire.html']Winchester 1885 Low Wall[/URL] is singing a siren song to me.
