Does anyone remember these days? if so I'd like to hear there views/storys
Ahhhhh, how well I remember! I remember how bad all us youngsters wanted our first BB gun and my dad bought me a Daisy Pump.Then our first .22 rifle and my dad bought me a Remington Pump .22 repeater.When I was 11yrs old I started to want a shot gun and my grandfather gave me a single shot break-open .410 that he had brought from Spain in 1910 (which I still have) and my dadbought me a Winchester Mod.12 20ga for $65(which I still have). When I was 13 he bought me a J.C.Higgins Mod.51 .30-06 at Sears&Roebuck for $99.99(which I still have). When I was of age to buy my own, I had many rifles and shot guns which over the years I have either sold or traded. In 1966, my wife to be and my wife of 40yrs, bought me a Browning A-5 12gaw/28" Vent Rib at Sears&Roebuck for $176(which I still have).
I also remember Western Auto and their racks of rifles, shotguns and ammo!
Yes the good ole days!
