I started out as a bowhunter so I wanted my centerfire gun to reflect the single shot approach. I went with a Ruger number 1. Then got my knight mk85 in the late 80's. My shotgun is a Beretta 390 and a Winchester 120. About 5 years ago I got interested in pistol shooting and I leaned toward revolvers; ruger gp100 and a smith and wesson 629. Both awesome guns. About 5 months ago I bought a glock 23. This is one fantastic gun.I have an old savage in 22 hornet which is fun to shoot. A ruger 10/22 is my squirrel gun. I did buy a an old marlin 336c in 35 remington which I plan to take deer hunting with me this year. Not collection but a bunch of useful tools each in their own right.
