Old Marlin bolt action single shot .22 that I got from my uncle when I was 9. With a 2 power scope on it that thing was a bushy tail killer ! !

Remington pump action .22 that I got from my grampa. Still have it, and the boys enjoy shooting it.

Got a great 30-30 winch that still had the saddle rings on it. Old style peep sights. Just a classic. Friend of the family gave it to me when I was seven for "helping" him restore a camper. Wish I sould find someone now days to give me a gun to sit on my butt listening to Buck Owens. Saddly that gun was stolen years ago. What it would be worth I dont know.

Model 94 30-30 with the octogon barrell. I couldn't hit crap with it at 14, given to me from Dad. Had it for a few years and upgraded. Traded that rifle for a driftboat and some cash.

Dad paid $50 for it and I got $500 in the driftboat trade.

Never bought one or owned one - just grab one of Dad's and still do. Clean it up and put it back in his closet when done.

I take that back - It's not a BB gun, it's an RWS air gun bought at Warshall's. Buy it, drive to the RR tracks in S. Seattle to try it out. Put out a target (30 yard) and take a couple shots. And what did God give me? A pigeon lands right near my target. I'm shushing my girlfriend cause she is trying to talk loud enough so it will fly away. I shush STFU. I knocked that sucker out and that was like the 3rd shot right out of the box. We hightailed it outta there.

Grampa's Centennial Edition Winchester 30-30. Every summer I would spend a couple of weeks cutting firewood for him @ Anderson Island. He would take me down to the open pit dump and we would blast rats with it. Good fun!

I still have it of course.............

I'll spend Eternity in Chickadee Hell,Robin Hell,Cat Hell,Starling Hell and crow Hell...amongst numerous other stops,but those are largely fueled via Blue Streak Safaris.

Until I went Rimfire and they had to hire a double shift to build enough Hells in my honor. I understand construction continues to this day and look forward to seeing my pards all together again.(grin)

My first was a Marlin model 60 semi-auto .22 (tube mag). I put brick after brick of ammo through that thing. What a wonderful rifle, great for plinkin and taking small game. I still have it and use it occasionally.

Guns that I inherited or given to me don't count.

First gun that I bought was Remington 870 Wingmaster. A fine scattergun that has killed countless birds and clays, and still resides in my gun safe.

I'm embarrassed now to admit that the first hunting rifle I bought 15 or so years was a Browning A-Bolt with a BOSS in .300 WinMag. At least was smart enough at the time to put a Loo-Pold on it.

Man, I see the rifles now like the NULA's and drool.

By far, the best Zombie rifle I purchased and later sold at 6X the value was the HK91.

Ithaca 410 sxs and a model 600 Renington in 6mm which I should never have sold.
