My first rifle at around 6 was a Remington 512 in .22. At 15 I picked up a Glenfield 30-30 at FedMart for $58.00. The next year a Remington 700ADL in 243 from Foleys for $99.00 some 47 yrs ago. As I’m always tinkering, I first rebarreled the 700 in 308( several different bbls). It’s currently sporting a 6.5x47 Lapua bbl.
I guess I’m not old enough to remember when they sold guns at Foleys.
