The first guns I was able to shoot and clean were only mine for the using. The first gun I owned I bought myself when I was 14 yrs old.
It was a 7 X 57 1903 Steyr Mannlicher bolt action,.....military bolt but add on express sights. It was a new barrel as the original 6.5 X 54 was shot out. I still have it and it shoots much better than I do. The iron sights limit my use (old eyes).
