Weatherby Vanguard 243. Still have it
$320, bought it before the VGS/VGX designations, they only made the full "Weatherby" look.
Was 14, got the $ mowing lawns, farm work and saving my lunch money.
It came in early October, I didn't have any money left after the rifle and wanted to put the scope off my 30-30 on it.
Dad wouldn't allow it, the Marlin was shot in and worked good, I would have to wait until I could afford a scope.
My birthday is 11/9, and when it rolled around, we went to the lgs and Dad bought me a Tasco World Class and Weaver Mounts.
I really don't like that rifle anymore.
But then, there wasn't a billionaire with a new yacht that was more proud.
