What was your first gun or rifle?

Miss.Smith · 12-03-2007, 12:03 PM

My first gun was a bolt action 22. I think it's a remington. It belonged to my great-great grandfather. It was the first gun I let my son and daughter shoot as well. But, I felt it was time to retire it for a while. So, I went and bought them both their own.

12 guage single that taught me to use all my lungs when yelling OW!

My first rifle was a .22 Winchester single shot bolt action. I still have it and still shoot it from time to time. Mainly I let new shooters shoot it because it is very easy to shoot and it doesn't scare them. My Dad gave it to me when I was about four years old.

Mine was a mod. 94 Winchester 30/30 given to me by my father. He bought it the year I was born. I got my first 3 deer with it, and still own it.

A Marlin Single Shot .410 Shotgun. Still have it. It shoots really well, I can shoot trap with it almost as good as with my 12ga.

LOL I know it did !!! I don't remember how young I was but I shot a singleshot 12 ga.
