How many remember???

[hunter338]

I dont know if this topic has come up in here before. But I figure it has.
But here it goes...

How many of you out there remember your very first rifle that you got as a child?..

I still own mine.
It is a old Army training rifle. It is a Wards Western Field Rifle. In the 22
crack shot. It shoots shorts, longs and long rifles. still has the 45CP burnt into the stock and forearm.

My dad gave it to me when I was seven years old, and it still looks and shoots good.

I will give it to my son next year when he turns nine. So that he can hopefully enjoy it for as long as I have.

So what was yours???????????

Thanks
Leroy

I can't relate to the "first rifle" as a kid thing , as around here at that time all of our hunting was done with dogs and shotguns, with the exception of a 22 for bushy tails. But my first gun was an Ithaca 12 gauge single shot. The barrel broke down with a lever action. It was a 30 in full choke , 3 in mag and kicked like a mule. I killed my first deer with it and learned to not flinch even tho I knew I was gonna get the **** kicked out of me. I later traded it off to my regret and I have never seen another.[]

I think I owned that shotgun. Or at least one like it anyway..

I think it was the kicked like a mule part of the gun that I remember the best.

Dad gave me his old Stevens/Savage 20GA. bolt action Shotgun. The first thing I shot with it was a trophy Jack Rabbit. That was back about 1954. For Xmas.

A Winchester Model 67A that my older brother bought for me. I was 13 at the time. That was many moons ago.

Mine was an old Western Auto Revelation brand bolt action, tube fed .22 LR that was handed down to me from my Dad when I was just a youngster. I still have the old gun today. To me it is priceless!

Ah yes a Remington Nylon 66 22, that was the coolest thing back then.
Next was an Ithica 52 Deluxe lever action 22 still have them both.

The first firearm I shot was one of my grandfathers 22 LR when I was about 5 years old. I had a BB gun then also. My first firearm was a 30-30 Win. in a Marlin Model 336 when I was about 11 years old. Good luck.
