My dad owns a few guns that were his grandfathers that carry sentimental value. I think my favourite is a customized Mauser action.35 Whelen though. The 12 gauge 'Chester 97 is really nice too though.

My S&W 29-2 with the 8 3/8" barrel my dad got for me for my 18th B'day. Oh Wow - that revolver is almost 40 years old and still looks like new.

My Uncle gave me a model 1903 Springfield when I was a teenager to hunt deer.The bolt action 30'06 is a very accurate rifle.I don't use it anymore.It's just a nice momento of hunting days that always bring back great memories.
