I have a 1957 M70 Winchester Featherweight in 30-06 that became mine when Grandpa passed in 2001. One of my most prized possessions. He bought it new and the mule deer in Washington got the hurt put to them for the next 40 years. I was there with him for the last few years of his serious deer hunting career and got to see it in action. I've used it on two whitetails and a couple of coyotes is all, but recently had it glass bedded and the crown touched up. It will come out of the cabinet and be put to use as my go-to rifle now.
RIP Grandpa.

i shot a lot of turkeys and other small game with the 1928 Win Model 12 16 gauge that is a family gun. same lot got me a Rem Model 11 12 gauge, a 1922 Colt pre-Woodsman, Savage .22 bolt, and the one I DID sell, a S&W .38. Nice pistol, but i needed the money and it lives next door with the caveat that if i ever want to buy it back, it's there. It was my great uncle's service pistol from the WW pen. That was all on my mother's side.
My dad has his dad's Mauser M98 that he sporterized after coming from WWII. still 8mm. he was a short fella so the length of pull is only about 12 inches, but it's neat to see how he turned the stepped barrel to smooth, welded the new bolt, and the bit of gold he affixed to the front sight.

Finally got a chance to take Grandpa's Remington Model 11 out in the woods. It was his pheasant gun. Never got to hunt with him. He died when I was 8, and he'd already quit hunting at that time. But we did slay some bluegills together!

I got lucky enough to get guns from both of my grandfathers before they passed.
From my mothers side I got a Hi-Standard 9 shot .22 pistol. It came with tiger eye maple grips, and a set of ivory grips, and a .22 magnum cylinder as a backup. I have no idea how old it is, but I have had it for almost 30 years.
From my fathers side I got a 1915 Stevens rolling block .22 (serial #512) that was purchased from Sears and Roebuck new for $3.50 in the day. I also purchased from him a few years before he passed a .45 cal Navy Arms muzzle loader.
My first hunting rifle was a Winchester Mod 94 that was my grandfathers, and was passed down to the First son (my father) to the first son (me) to the first son (my nephew) who currently has it.

I don't have any pictures handy, but I have two guns from my grandfather, who I am also named after. He gave me his Winchester model 69a, that he bought in the early 40's, it's a fun little .22. I also have his early 80's Remington 700, .300 H&H. That thing is a powerhouse! I love being able to use both of them to get some meat for him once in a while, it's always a welcomed surprise for him.

This is a great thread. When I was 13 my grandpa gave me his Sears Model 53 (Winchester Model 70) .270 complete with the Ted Williams scope and case. He purchased it around 1965-66 I'm guessing since it's a post-64 model. He hunted for a few years with it but never shot anything with it and quit hunting. I shot my first deer with it when I was 13 in Idaho and have have killed many deer, 2 elk and a coyote with it in the last 25yrs. Here are a couple pics of it and the game it has taken recently. The first is a 2nd deer doe from 2012 and the second is my late whitetail from last year with my "vintage" Kmart wool shirt from the 60's-70's
