So buying say a XCR as a first rifle isn't the equivalent of buying a 600cc SS as your first motorcycle?
Cool, good to know it's worth it to buy quality to start with.
Here's what I learned in short order:
Buy a shotgun that fits you and you will always like shooting it. Get a few different gauges and you're set for anything
New doesn't always mean better. Also, more expensive isn't ALWAYS better, but in general with guns, you get what you pay for (though some cheaper shotguns still do the job)
Buy good quality scopes from the start
As stated, buy the nice rifle you want from the start - the others will never mean as much
Everyone has their opinions - buy what you like, not what others say you should
Learn to work on every gun you own.

Buy restricted rifles and pistols now in case they get prohibited later so you'll have the chance of being grandfathered. Really wish I had bought a cheap short barrelled pistol before so I'd have my prohib status now. Get yourself a cheap AR lower now and have it registered whether you ever buy an upper or build a complete gun.
That is actually a great idea that I never considered...I sold my last AR as I just didn't shoot it often and couldn't justify $1600 sitting in the safe. $150 however, I can.
