what was your FIRST gun?

[Angus]

Got a Marlin .22 rifle for my 10th birthday, bought a Savage 99c .308 when I was 11 with my paper route/lawn mowing money.

Ruger Mark I, .22 LR.  Still have it after 30 years.  Still one of the most fun to plink with.

my 7mm08 I bought last year.

Christmas, 2nd Grade 1965, a Crossman M1 BB "thrower"  you could see'em fly across the yard

Christmas, 3rd Grade, 1966 a Sears & Roebuck .22 single shot bolt action, stolen in a Burglary 18 months later.
My Dad was about 36 or 37 at the time. *censored*s took the .22 his Dad gave him when he was 10.
He had spent hours and hours hand rubbing Linseed oil into the stock months before it was stolen...

Christmas 4th Grade another Sears .22, 7 round mag and Scope.  Dad bought it pretty quick after the first one got stolen but kept in his locker at work and zeroed/plinked on the Company Range till Xmas...

Ruger M77 30/06.  I have killed lots of game with it and still own it.  I havent hunted with it much lately, but I'm sure I will again someday.

Ithaca model 37 featherlite 12 ga, bought it at a pawn shop for $150 used it for almost 20 yrs

[Woodchuck]

an old Stevens .22 "carnival gun" had a very short stock on it so it could be used by all kinds of people, still sits in the safe

[Skillet]

Like Rasbo, a Daisy Red Rider.  Lots of critters at my grandparents house went down to that one.  Then my Grandpa gave me his Marlin single shot .22 he bought from a mail order outfit in the 30's for $10.25.  PLUS shipping...  between the two of us, we had actually worn out the firing pin and extractor claw... she don't fire every time, and when she does, you take the shell out with your jacknife.  Say, anybody know a good reputable gunsmith up around Everett area?

Winchester model 12 20ga. It was my Dads first shotgun.

[elk311]

H&R combo single shot 20 guage / 30-30. Ignorance and immaturity allowed me to part with this gun... shoulda', woulda', coulda'...

  My brother traded our Grandfathers model 12 16ga that he carried in his patrole car as a patrolmen/police chief. Boy do I want that shotgun back. We lost grandpa 10 years ago and would sure like to have that gun.

My Dad would still be kicking my ass. I still have Grandpa's Savage 219 30-30 with a spare model 220 20ga bbl for it. Grandpa bought it sometime around 1940..

chipmunk 22lr that I still have. I cant remember what was next man im getting a bad memory:chuckle:

[Pathfinder101]

20 ga, single shot H&R shotgun.  Shot my first grouse, quail and duck with it.  Moved up to a 12 ga pump as soon as I was old enough to get a job and earn the money to buy one.
First rifle was a 30-30 Model 94 Winchester lever action.  Shot my first two deer with that.  Bought a .270 bolt action the same year I bought my first 12 ga.
