Whats the best gun you have won in a raffle?

[Silverslider]

I will tell you, it is an addiction for me. Whenever I am at any event and they have a gun raffle, I just cannot pass it up. I have won four guns so far; an 870, an H&R 44 mag, a remington 770, and my favorite a Ruger single six ten.
Gun raffles are a great way for an organization to raise money.
My luck runs hot and cold. anyone else had any great wins?

 

[mikefraz]

Not a single one. Ever.

 

[BogWalker]

Never won anything, but I've only entered two. How many have you entered to win four times? How many chances do you think you bought? I know a lot of raffles you can buy more than one entry for.

Won a camo'd Remington 597 22LR semi-auto at Drill one weekend.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Remington 1300 shotgun. Only gun I ever won. Come to think of it, it's the only anything I've even won.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Mossberg .22 match rifle with double ap sights. Fun gun to shoot.

Gave it away at a FNRA dinner.

After 20 yrs of trying, I've won twice. Years ago when Benelli first introduced the Nova I bought one to waterfowl hunt because I couldn't at that time justify paying for the Super Black Eagle. A week later, I won one. Several times I've attended Ducks Unlimited banquets and three years in a row, someone standing to my immediate left has won. Last year, I finally won my choice of approximately 40 long guns. However, I took the cash option because we get special pricing at work and I already owned the only two that I couldn't buy with the cash option. Looking back, I'm sure I could have purchased at least a Les Baer for what I've spent on raffle tickets but it always goes to a good cause and it's a great feeling to go home with a gun that you've won. Now as far as the wife is concerned, I've won many more firearms. I just might have left out the part where I had to bid on them.

Not a single one. Ever.

Don't know how many I've entered, but at least a couple...

 

[natetheace]

Never won any raffles. Still love supporting something I believe in with the chance to win a gun!
A friend of mine won two with two tickets. Needless to say, they never asked him to play ever again.
Some day I'll win!

 

[funeralweb]

None. Enjoy trying but could have paid cash for a Barrett 50 BMG with the $$$ I've spent supporting raffles.

 

[selinoid44]

Ive won only one and I use it quite a bit for side matches. A Bond Derringer in 38 spl.

 

[barber613]

77/22 mag. Forgot I bought a chance until phone rang months later, pleasant surprise.

 

[Winamac]

Uh let me think... NONE

 

[Sgt7330]

Won 2. A Mossberg 835 12 ga. and a single shot H&R .20 ga. I used to do them a few times a year, but haven't in a while. I think the money I spent to win these two guns could have been used to buy them and then some.

Won what was indicated to be a Benelli shotgun, but actually was a $350 gift cert to Gander Mtn when all was said and done. I was super excited when I got the phone call, because I knew Benelli makes some high end stuff, but the one I won was apparently one of their lower end models. Also it turned out that the raffle prizes were really gift cards in the amount that the organization would have been able to buy the gun for at a volume discount as they were purchasing a large quantity.

In the end I was very happy to have won the gift card, and then got Gander to price match LGS on a Glock 19.

So long story condensed = won a large discount on a Glock 19

I've never won a gun in a raffle, but got several freebies last year as prizes for sales promotions. Most I traded back to the shop or sold, but I kept the Ruger SR-22P and Kahr PM9 and like them both quite well.

 

[swamptick]

Only won 1, a Winchester 1400 Ducks Unlimited.

 

[dwain]

I won an H&R 20 guage single shot shotgun about 20 years ago at an Evansville gun show. When I picked it up at a gun store over there, he had a single shot Stevens 22 I liked. Traded even for it.

2011 (I think) SW Mich. friends of the NRA, M1a Standard

 

[knobcreeknut]

I won a marlin papoose at the 1500 when they first came out. Last year after 15 years of winless FNRA events I finally hit and won a Henry .22 mag and a RRA 458 socom. By my rough calculation I am still a couple grand in the hole
