Do You Remember Your First Rifle???
 

I Do, Johnny Seven~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GQB_aEmiv4

My first gun was a .410 pump shotgun. Stayed in the shotgun and handgun club for a long while.

I guess technically my first rifle was my Artillery Luger with a stock. Which is going to stay a good memory.

Remington 512. .22 with tubular magazine, my 10th birthday present.

Worked my way through the Junior NRA medals with it.

My first handgun was a Browning Nomad .22 with 6" barrel I purchased when I was in college.

Both are now C&R. I guess I am too.

First rifle was a bolt action .22 BSA Sportsman 15 (15rd tube magazine). Still have it but had to get the magazine capacity reduced to 10 rounds thanks to our new ridiculous gun law amendments.

J.C. Higgins single-shot, bolt action .22, iron sights. My dad taught me how to shoot it when I was 12. (He shot Expert at the Peekskill NG Ranges in 1927). I still have it and it is the most accurate firearm I own. :)

My first rifle was a Winchester 290 .22 LR Semi-Auto. I used it for a lot of years but sold it after two trips back to Winchester for head space problems. I replaced it with a Remington Nylon 66 which is the AK-47 of 22's. They just run and run.

Lock and Load! :)

My first rifle was a J. C. Higgins .22 bolt-action repeater that my dad bought me for my 12th birthday. I lent it to a classmate when I was 17 and never saw it again.

Marlin Glenfield Model 75 .22lr. :cool:

Hey,

That child is holding one of those, demonic, wicked, "Assault Rifles"!!!

His ass needs to be whipped and then he needs to to be put to bed without any supper!!!!!

Hi,

A 1967 Ruger Model 10/22.

Dad bought both my 4 year older brother and me these rifles for Christmas. I had just turned 11.

Yes, I still have it to this very day.

Loved them all.

In 1951 I had made enough money working on a farm to buy a Mossburg bolt action 22. Don't remember the model but the front of the stock folded down to make a handle. Sold it while in college. Bill

1950 Daisy Red Rider - 1955 Carcano TS - still have both -

Mine was a Walther Sports Model Two 22 cal Trainer Rifle, beautiful accurate, still have~ Originally Issued For Hitler Youth Training! https://www.thereloadersnetwork.com/...-action-rifle/

My first rifle was a Ruger 10/22, shotgun was a Stevens 311 double 20 gauge for my 12th birthday.

My first rifle was a Ruger 10/22 Deluxe Sporter, which I still have. I paid $77.00 for it in 1976 at Herman's World of Sporting Goods. I can remember that, but do not ask me what I had for dinner last Tuesday...

Its marked with Hitler Youth~ 'HY' Sportsman Model~ on the stock butt~

My original is still packed away during our move!!! Mine is nicer than the pictures I posted!!

My first rifle was a Remington 581 bolt action with a Weaver 4x scope my Dad gave me when I turned six, that would have been 1973. I still have it and it is in great shape, shot it a lot when I was a kid. My dad built a gun range in our basement of our house, 50ft it was great. Growing up in NJ it was not easy to go to the gun range so my dad brought the gun range to me!

when i was a kid in NJ. we used to carry our uncased .22's on public service buses to the range in the high school basement -
