First was a mossberg .22 bolt action when I was 18. Still have it won't sell
It. Been through a lot of stuff multiple car wreck many rabbit and squirrel seasons.
Soon as I turned 18 I bought a Winchester 1300 Defender 12 gauge.
Barring BB guns, my first was a Christmas present from my grandfather when I was 16. A brand new in the box Marlin Model 60 tube feed .22 semi-auto rifle. Later on in life, I had some financial trouble and I ended up selling the gun. I always kicked myself for selling that gun, and again later on in life, I purchased a brand new in the box Marlin Model 60 tube feed .22 rifle to replace the one I had sold. I still shoot it on occasion, and am proud to say that I have had it now for over 20 years. My grandfather was a good man.
Ruger LCR
A Mossberg 20 gauge pump. Paid about $60 for it new with paper route money in 1966.
Mine was a single shot 12 ga. I got at the age of 13
