10-22 from 1976. Oldest centerfire is Browning 1885 7mm RemMag, bought in '86. I had earlier guns but they got stolen; no idea why thieves passed on the 10-22.

Not a rifle, but I bought this one saving money from mowing yards. Beretta a390 bought new in 1994 from a local gun shop. Still hunting with it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/P1kNjNj.jpg) Nice..... Reminds me of the A303 i purchased in 1988 the gunshop owner claimed was too exotic for his customer base..........i should have never sold that gun.

For me it's a tie. My folks bought me a new 1977 Marlin 336 30-30 that I picked out at the local farm supply store and I bought a new 1977 Marlin 39A soon after.I still have both of them.

Not many new guns go through here, but I do have a nice older 870 Special Purpose here that I bought new.
Code on bbl gives Aug 1990 as the manufacture date. Bbl is 26" and the original box is still with it. I swapped out the tupperware stock for a walnut police stock for the upgrade.
The SP came about when folks started looking for guns in a matte/satin finish. These are basically the Wingmaster matted out. Not many come up for sale, so I suspect they were not big sellers based on the price and were later replaced with the SPS.

What is the oldest rifle you still have that "YOU" bought "NEW"? For instance I have a Rem 700 264mag that "I" bought "NEW" in 1964 . Also have a Ruger 77R "I" bought "NEW" in 1967, their first year of production. Still have the box for the Ruger. What's you story? OK I will be 79 next month. rem 700 bdl in 7mm.bought the same year i think the serial # is under 45000.
