2nd. Great great grandmothers 1913 Winchester model 12 in 20GA

4th. Grandfather's "Ranger" (hardware store gun?) 20 GA SXS - was his first gun, got it for his 12th birthday in 1931. Ive shot some clays with it
5. Dad's Rem 721 in .270 that started life as his uncles. Wasmy dadsfirst gun he bought in 10th grade.
6. dad's Rem. 11-48 in 12 gauge. his 1st shotgun. I Goose hunted with it this last december.
Also in the mix are dads first .22(which he bought after the .270) in a winchester model 72
Dad's Savage 24 in 30/30 and 20ga. which was his tractor gun (bolted a scabbord to the fender). Now my grandhog control gun.
