I still want to get a nice lever action rifle. Would be sweet to have an original Winchester 1873 in 38-40.

I have an original Winchester 1894 in 38-40. I have not had the chance to load some ammo for it though. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics on components.
Shooting is fun. I was a youth firearms instructor when I was 18. Did precision rifle shooting in high school. Got my CCW at 19. Shot a TON while I was in the Army. I even make my own ammo in my home office.
I've got way too many guns to list. Working at a gun range as an instructor meant that I got to see good deals and odd firearms all day, everyday. But some of my favorites are:
-Bushmaster AR-15 (First gun ever purchased)
-M1 Garand (Markings are inconsistent, but I believe it to be a 1945 model that was refurbished in 1965 by Anniston Army Depot. I only use my reloads in this gun; no factory ammo)
-M1903 (Sporterized in the 1960s. Lots of fun, and not a bad hunting rifle)
-Marlin 336 from 1963
-Colt Super Wrangler chambered in both 22mag and 22lr
Pepsi, my advice to you is to visit your local indoor gun range. See if they have any ARs to rent and try some out. You'd get to try different calibers, styles, attachments, optics, etc. If nothing else you can just buy a cheap one and go from there. Bushmaster XM15, Sig MPX, S&W M&P15. All good guns.
