I've got my father's Ruger Mark 2, and Marlin 780, both in .22. Both are fun to shoot and I generally keep between 2 and 3000 rounds of .22 for whatever occassion. Also, my father has yet to pass down my great great grandfather's single action Army Colt in .38-40. It still works and is all original, with the exception for a single screw. I'm the only kid in the family who wants it, so I'm fairly confident it'll go to me, as well. This isn't an obsession, it's respect for heritage.
