My first rifle was an old Marlin 22 Lever Action that belonged to my Granddad it had an octagon barrel. I wish I stil had it. My brother sold it while I was living in Florida.

The first rifle I bought was a Remmington Model 742 BDL in 30/06 in 1965. Either someone wanted it more than I did or the EX wife got rid of it along with a Steoger Lugar 22 Pistol.

The first gun I hunted deer with was an Winchester Pump 12 GA Shotgun my dad had bought from some guy in Alaska. It had been stuck in a snowbank and fired so six inches had been cut off the end of the barrel. Talk about a scatter gun, that was it as there was no choke whatsoever. It put a new meaning to the term Scatter Gun.
